Condor Flugdienst GmbH and Lufthansa Technik AG have signed a Total Component Support (TCS) agreement for the airline’s new Airbus A32Xneo fleet.

The agreement also includes an extension for Lufthansa Technik to provide support for Condor’s A32Xceo fleet.

Lufthansa Technik will also assist Condor during the production process of its growing A32Xneo fleet with its Aircraft Production Inspection Program (APIP) for more than 40 aircraft.

Both Total Component Support (TCS) agreements will run for a 12-year term and will come into effect in May 2024.

They include comprehensive MRO services as well as spare parts pooling and homebase services for the required components.

Lufthansa Technik has already been supporting Condor’s Airbus A330neo fleet with component services since 2023.

The APIP will cover everything from initial subassembly inspections to final aircraft acceptance and include monitoring the process for more than 40 Airbus aircraft ordered by Condor.

Christian Schmitt, chief operating officer and accountable manager at Condor, said: “With Lufthansa Technik, we will continue to rely on a reliable partner who supports our ambitious goals with the most suitable services for us.

“Based on our previous cooperation, we have decided to further strengthen our partnership in order to benefit from Lufthansa Technik’s expertise for our existing fleet and, in future, the new fleet.

“This puts us in a good position for fleet modernisation.”

Harald Gloy, chief operations and HR officer at Lufthansa Technik, said: “The new agreements are another important milestone in our trustful cooperation.

“It fills us with pride that we can now support Condor‘s entire Airbus fleet with our excellent component services.

“Additionally, we are pleased to contribute our experts’ extensive experience in APIP services, having supported in the production process of more than 2,300 aircraft of various types.”
