The Korean low-cost carrier Eastar Jet has commissioned Lufthansa Technik AG to supply components for its short and medium-haul fleet. Eastar Jet currently operates 18 Boeing 737NG and has placed more orders on this aircraft type.
The Total Component Support (TCS®) agreement includes component maintenance as well as spare parts leasing through a component pool at the airline’s headquarters at Gimpo International Airport in Seoul. Eastar Jet will also be granted access to the corresponding spare parts pools at Lufthansa Technik.
“We are pleased to know that component supply for our Boeing 737NG fleet is in the hands of a partner as experienced as Lufthansa Technik,” said Daniel Yim, General Manager of purchasing team from Eastar Jet. “We are confident that Lufthansa Technik will offer us optimal support, which will also help us with the expansion of our flight operations.”
