MANILA, Philippines – Asiana Airlines has contracted Lufthansa Technik Philippines (LTP) for the heavy maintenance check on one of its Airbus A320 aircraft.
“The track record of Lufthansa Technik Philippines in base maintenance check for the Airbus family of aircraft is one of the compelling reasons for entrusting one of our A320s to them," said S.H. Lee, Asiana's general manager for aircraft and support purchasing.
"We are confident that with LTP’s expertise behind our base maintenance requirements, we will be able to continue providing our award-winning service in the skies,” Lee said.
The A320 aircraft is part of Asiana’s mixed fleet of 70 Airbus and Boeing aircraft.
LTP is able to provide base maintenance checks on Korean-registered A320 and A330 aircraft through the Approved Maintenance Organization certificate issued by the Republic of Korea.
“We welcome this development in our years of partnership with Asiana. We are glad that they have recognized the years of partnership that we have with them and our efforts of providing them consistent and top quality service,” said Dominik Wiener-Silva, LTP vice president for marketing and sales.
Lufthansa Technik and Asiana Airlines have already been cooperating for 20 twenty years. Currently, both companies are also working together in the fields of CF6-80 engine maintenance and component services TCS for Airbus A321 and Boeing B737 aircraft.
Asiana Airlines, one of South Korea’s major carriers was awarded the Airline of the Year 2009 by Air Transport World and awarded Airline of the Year 2010 by Skytrax. The airline has placed an order for six Airbus A380s for delivery in 2014. (EHL)
