Our Bureau - : Oct 20, 2022 - : 10:42 am

FL Technics and Norwegian have signed a 5-year contract as the companies’ identified synergies and growth potential in mutual operations.

FL Technics invested in Europe-based wheels and brakes business to add a new service to its’ MRO portfolio, with clear competitive advantages of LEAN-based operations, own supply chain solutions, and convenient locations of the facilities, including the wheels and brakes shops. The capabilities and infrastructure allow the company to provide fast and efficient services, granting quick turn-around-times for airlines and operators.

One of the measures that Norwegian is taking to improve efficiency of operations and reduce a CO2 footprint is a purchase of 50 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, that are due to be delivered between 2025 and 2028. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 is approximately 14 percent more fuel-efficient compared to the previous-generation aircraft, putting the company on strong footing to achieve its target of reducing emissions by 45 percent by 2030.

“LEAN and efficient processes grant better business performance, yet it has an equally important impact on the sustainability of operations,” said Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO of FL Technics. “Thus, we are glad that an increasing number of companies are taking this into account while developing business in aviation. Of course, I find it a great milestone for FL Technics as our new business line of wheels and brakes is proving to be competent and capable of providing services for Europe’s leading carriers.”

“We are pleased to have strengthened our partnership with FL Technics,” said Henrik Fjeld, SVP Technical of Norwegian Air Shuttle. “Their focus on quality control and efficient turnarounds ensures our fleet has the wheels and brakes required to safely serve our customers. From the onset of the tendering process, FL Technics shared our commitment to operate in accordance with responsible, ethical, sustainable and sound business principles, with respect for people, the environment and society.”
