Airbus has been awarded a contract renewal for the In-Service Support of the Luftwaffe’s A400M aircraft by the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) in Koblenz, Germany. The 7.5-year contract extension solidifies the long-term commitment of the German government to the A400M program and builds upon the existing In-Service Support contract that has been in effect since December 2014.
Under the renewed contract, Airbus will provide a wide range of industrial technical support services for the German Air Force’s A400M fleet. These services will be delivered by the Airbus Support Centre in Wunstorf Air Base and the central Centres of Competence in Getafe, Spain. The scope of support includes scheduled Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services, which will be conducted at Airbus’ main MRO base in Manching, near Munich, as well as at Wunstorf Air Base and Hannover Airport.
