Lufthansa Technik is to provide Aircraft Transition Services for China Airlines.
The three-year contract is to cover the transition of 12 Boeing 737-800 and 17 Airbus A330 of China Airlines leased aircraft.
A total of 29 projects will take place in multiple locations across the Asia-Pacific region.
With over 400 aircraft transition projects all over the world, Lufthansa Technik holds years of experience in this field.
Its Aircraft Transition Services are designed to make this extensive and complex process easier and more comfortable for operators.
The MRO provider says its Aircraft Transition Services team supports in every stage of the lease period – from the initial aircraft assessment and long-term lease asset management, all the way to the lease return.
Jason Tsai, vice president of the engineering division operations of China Airlines, said: “The 29 aircraft come from 11 different leasing companies. That’s why we need a reliable partner who knows the business best. From our experience, we know that Lufthansa Technik fulfils both criteria.”
