Cebu Pacific and Lufthansa Technik have signed another Engine Maintenance Services (EMS) contract for a significant number of CFM56-5B engines powering the airline’s A320ceo fleet.

It follows an agreement between the two companies signed in September 2023 for Lufthansa Technik to provide MRO services for three of Cebu Pacific’s CFM56-5B engines, along with Cyclean® engine wash and Aircraft Transition Services (ATS) for two A320ceo.

Shevantha Weerasekera, vice president of engineering and fleet management at the Philippines-based low-cost carrier, said: “Lufthansa Technik has demonstrated a deep understanding of Cebu Pacific’s unique demands and needs, showcasing a willingness to tailor solutions.

“We were primarily attracted by Lufthansa Technik’s one-stop solution, encompassing MES, logistics, and warranty claim services, and were pleasantly surprised by the company’s flexibility in customizing offers.”

Dennis Kohr, senior vice president of corporate sales Asia Pacific at Lufthansa Technik, said: “This new EMS contract marks a significant milestone in our collaborative journey, and we look forward to continuing our strong partnership and exploring further opportunities for mutual growth.”

Cebu Pacific also holds line maintenance contracts with Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP), which commenced in 2011 with the provision of line maintenance services for the airline’s narrowbody fleet. This collaboration has since expanded to encompass base maintenance services for both A320 and A330 fleets.
