After an initial three years of Cyclean engine washes with noticeable benefits for the worldwide C-17 Globemaster III fleet, Boeing has now extended the respective service contract with Lufthansa Technik until the end of 2027.

WestJet and Lufthansa Technik announce that they have signed an exclusive agreement in which Lufthansa Technik will provide engine maintenance services for the CFM International* LEAP-1B engines that power the airline's Boeing 737 fleet. The 15-year, multi-billion-dollar contract is the largest in WestJet's 30-year history and followed a rigorous competitive global sourcing process.

Lufthansa Technik, a provider of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, is teaming up with Microsoft to drive forward the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Designed to optimize entire maintenance processes, the approach will significantly improve efficiency or even lead to completely new offers.

Together with Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa Technik is introducing the fuel-saving AeroSHARK surface film to another aircraft type. From winter 2024, four Boeing 777-200ER aircraft of the Austrian carrier will be equipped with the sharkskin technology. The riblet film reduces frictional resistance during flight and thus lowers the kerosene consumption as well as CO2 emissions of long-haul aircraft.

As the first independent MRO provider worldwide to sign a CFM Branded Service Agreement (CBSA) for both the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines, Lufthansa Technik is now preparing to induct its first LEAP-1B engine in November this year. LEAP engines are a product of CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines.

Lufthansa Technik and Colombian carrier Avianca sign a five-year contract that will provide digital condition monitoring through the AVIATAR platform. With the new contract, Avianca will be able to receive instant and real-time information about the configuration and condition of its Airbus A320 and A330 aircraft as well as their engines and components — during flight and on ground, all consolidated in one place.

A decommissioned Airbus A320 is being given a new lease on life in the service of science as the Hydrogen Aviation Lab, Hamburg's new field laboratory for testing maintenance and ground processes for future hydrogen-powered aircraft. The presentation of the Hydrogen Aviation Lab marks the start of the installation of the hydrogen components in the coming months. Hamburg's Senator for Economic Affairs, Michael Westhagemann, inspected the repurposed Airbus A320.

AvAir, an inventory solutions provider for the aviation aftermarket, and Lufthansa Technik sign an addendum to their long-term aftermarket sales agreement. This addendum includes a second large material takeover.
