Lufthansa Technik component support for Lufthansa Regional E-Jets
Lufthansa Technik has extended its Total Component Support TCS to the complete fleet of Embraer E-Jets in service with Lufthansa Regional.
A long-term agreement recently signed with Lufthansa CityLine added further 20 E-190s and E-195s to the contracts already running with Augsburg Airways, which will operate seven aircraft, and Air Dolomiti, which already operates five aircraft.
Under the TCS contract Lufthansa Technik will ensure supply of components for the E-Jets from its dedicated regional aircraft parts pool in Munich. All aspects of support will be covered, from writing the specifications, initial provisioning studies, home base allocation to repair and overhaul, troubleshooting, documentation and engineering services. The contract also includes wheels and brakes support.
