Wizz Air, the largest low fare – low cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, and Lufthansa Technik AG announced that they will extend their cooperation by renewing the Total Component Support TCS including wheels and brakes support.
The contract was signed by Jozsef Varadi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air and August Wilhelm Henningsen, Chairman of the Executive Board of Lufthansa Technik. For ten more years Lufthansa Technik will provide component support for Wizz Air’s entire fleet that is set to continuously grow from 26 today to 132 Airbus A320s in 2017.
Within the scope of the Total Component Support TCS-product, Lufthansa Technik’s experts will take care of all aspects of supplying Wizz Air’s fleet with components from writing the specifications, initial provisioning studies, home base allocation to repair and overhaul of components. The new contract also provides for the continuation of the wheels and brakes support of the Wizz Air fleet from Lufthansa Technik’s Frankfurt base.
“Lufthansa Technik has been an integral part of our success from the very beginning. Its high quality services are indispensable to maintain our operational reliability and safety standards at their maximum. We are delighted to renew our cooperation” said Jozsef Varadi, Chief Executive Officer of Wizz Air.
