Lufthansa Technik Middle East (LTME) has announced the signing of an agreement regarding close cooperation in the field of aircraft component services with Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries (SAEI). According to the new deal, Lufthansa Technik over the next ten years will provide its Total Component Support (TCS) to Saudia’s 57 aircraft-strong Boeing 777 and 787 fleets. The TCS contract encompasses 39 Boeing 777s (35 777-300ER and four 777F) and 18 Boeing 787s (13 787-9 and five 787-10).
For all these aircraft, SAEI gains 24/7 access to Lufthansa Technik’s global components pool. For example, the TCS includes an AOG (Aircraft On Ground) support that guarantees the shortest possible delivery for time-critical components. The agreement will significantly strengthen SAEI’s technical operations and complement its resources.
