Frontier Airlines has signed a five-year contract with Lufthansa Technik, under which the MRO company will provide base maintenance services to the low-fare carrier’s A320 family fleet. As a result of the agreement, some 300 aircraft slots covering two lines at Lufthansa Technik’s Puerto Rico facility are scheduled for Frontier aircraft over the term of the contract.
The new contract expands a one-year agreement in which Lufthansa Technik carried out base maintenance for Frontier on a single line. The two companies’ relationship goes back several years in the component supply arena.
In addition, the two companies have signed an agreement which will see Frontier using Lufthansa Technik’s AVIATAR digital diagnostic platform, which includes a quiver of health analytics and condition monitoring tools.
“Based on the results of our initial partnership with Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico, we are pleased to expand the relationship with this multi-year aircraft maintenance services agreement,” said Jeffrey Moore, Vice President of Technical Operations at Frontier Airlines. Their base maintenance, components support, and AVIATAR platform will help support our focus on high-quality, efficient maintenance programmes.”
