AirAsia X extends contract with Lufthansa Technik Philippines

AirAsia X, the world’s first successful long-haul, low-cost airline, renewed its contract with the Manila-based maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company, Lufthansa Technik Philippines.

The recently signed supplemental contract covers light C-checks to be done this year for AirAsia X’s Airbus fleet.

It comes a year after the signing of the three-year base maintenance agreement between the two companies that covers base maintenance services to AirAsia X’s Airbus fleet of nine A330s and two A340s. During the first year of the agreement, LTP provided MRO services including C-checks, a heavy maintenance check, several cabin retrofit and aircraft painting.

Anaz Ahmad Tajuddin, AirAsia X’s Head of Engineering said: “The expansion of the agreement between AirAsia X and Lufthansa Technik Philippines is our commitment towards providing continuous quality services to our passengers. The teamwork and partnership we receive from Lufthansa Technik Philippines has ensured proven reliability of our aircraft thus far.
