SINGAPORE, Feb. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SINGAPORE
AIRSHOW -- UTC Aerospace Systems and Lufthansa Technik AG have
signed a long-term agreement that will give operators of Airbus
A350 XWB aircraft more options for the maintenance, repair and
overhaul (MRO) services of nacelle systems on the Rolls-Royce Trent
XWB engines that power the twinjet. The agreement makes Lufthansa
Technik the initial licensed service provider for performing
nacelle MRO services on the A350 XWB nacelle system to the same
level as UTC Aerospace Systems' own global MRO facilities. UTC
Aerospace Systems is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:
UTX).
Under the agreement, UTC Aerospace Systems' Aerostructures
business will provide Lufthansa Technik with proprietary
information including repair procedures, access to OEM tooling,
technical publications, worldwide performance data and technical
data required to perform A350 XWB MRO services. Lufthansa Technik
will invest in a wide range of assets to support the repairs
including the tooling necessary to carry out the repairs.
"The agreement will give A350 XWB operators more options for
locations of their nacelle MRO services from high-quality, OEM or
OEM-licensed repair stations," said Marc
Duvall, president of UTC Aerospace Systems' Aerostructures
business. "Additionally, it provides the operators confidence that
A350 nacelle system MRO work performed by Lufthansa Technik will be
made at the same high standard of quality and fast turnaround for
which both companies are known."
