Safran Nacelles and Lufthansa Technik have signed a license agreement for MRO services on Airbus A320neo's LEAP-1A nacelles. Over 2,500 nacelles produced by Safran Nacelles are currently in service on Airbus A320neo aircraft that are powered by CFM International's LEAP-1A engines.
By becoming a member of Safran Nacelles' licensed MRO network, Lufthansa Technik will be able to carry out warranty tasks, repairs and modifications guaranteed by Safran Nacelles. Thus, in combination with its existing rotable asset pool of LEAP-1A spares, Lufthansa Technik can offer its customers spare availability from OEM stock locations and MRO services.
"I look forward to sharing with Lufthansa Technik our best OEM quality standards," said Alain Berger, Safran Nacelles' Executive Vice President - Customer Support & Services. "Operators of the A320neo nacelles can therefore rest assured that they will benefit from the best repairs in an extensive network of global stations."
"We are delighted to extend our long standing partnership with Safran Nacelles through this MRO license", said Andreas Drosdowski, Vice President Aircraft Component Services at Lufthansa Technik. "The LEAP-1A engine type represents a major part of the future of
Lufthansa Technik's nacelle portfolio and the long term commitment to providing top level spare availability and MRO services to our valued customers."
