Lufthansa Technik and Safran Nacelles have entered into a license agreement for the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) of Airbus A320neo’s LEAP-1A nacelles. The agreement covers more than 2,500 nacelles produced by Safran Nacelles and currently in service on Airbus A320neo aircraft that are powered by CFM International’s LEAP-1A engines. Lufthansa Technik will join Safran Nacelles’ licensed MRO network and will be able to perform warranty tasks, repairs, and modifications guaranteed by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The partnership will also enable Lufthansa Technik to offer its customers spare availability from OEM stock locations and MRO services.
