South Korean carrier Asiana Airlines and Lufthansa Technik have extended their contract for the repair and overhaul of Asiana’s CF6-80 engines powering the airline’s Boeing 747 and 767 fleets. The five-year non-exclusive contract is covering a total of 17 B767-300 and B747-400 aircraft.
This extension will strengthen Lufthansa Technik’s business in the Asian market, one of the strongest-growing regions and generate a stable workload for the CF6 product line over the coming years.
Lufthansa Technik and Asiana Airlines have been working together for more than 25 years. Lufthansa Technik also provides component maintenance for the Asiana Boeing 777-200ER fleet, an integrated Total Component Support for the airline’s Airbus A320F and A350 fleets and CF6 engine support and heavy maintenance for the carrier’s Airbus A380 fleet.
