Lufthansa Technik and Philippine Airlines (PAL) continue to strengthen their long-term partnership. The Philippines’ flag carrier and Lufthansa Technik Shenzhen (LTS) signed an Airframe Related Components services contract for Airbus A321ceo nacelles. The agreement includes maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) as well as spare unit support for the V2500 engine’s inlet cowling. This new collaboration between Lufthansa Technik’s subsidiary in China and the Manila-based airline is scheduled to begin servicing by the end of this year.

Philippine Airlines and Lufthansa Technik have been collaborating in various MRO areas for over two decades. Earlier this year, the airline chose to renew its partnership with Lufthansa Technik in Engine Maintenance Services. This renewal complements the existing agreements for Total Component Support (TCS) for PAL’s Boeing 777 fleet, along with Base Maintenance Services provided by Lufthansa Technik Philippines. Additionally, Lufthansa Technik Shenzhen, specializing in advanced repairs of composite and bonded materials used in aircraft structures, and Philippine Airlines are already collaborating on component repairs.

“We are delighted to announce our new collaboration with Lufthansa Technik on Airframe Related Components. This partnership will not only benefit Philippine Airlines by ensuring the reliability and safety of our fleet, but also strengthens the relationship between the two companies,” said Alvin Kendrich O. Limqueco, Philippine Airlines’ Senior Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer.

Jens Michel, Vice President Sales North East Asia at Lufthansa Technik, stated: “Thanks to Philippine Airlines for continuing to entrust us with your business. We are always committed to providing outstanding services and excited to further strengthen our successful partnership with Philippine Airlines through this collaboration.”
