Signing
Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA, a low-fare airline based in Fornebu, Norway, has extended its collaboration with Lufthansa Technik for an additional five years, marking 17 years of collaboration.
The agreement states that Lufthansa Technik will guarantee slot availability for maintenance layovers of the airline’s fleet of 80 737NG and 737MAX aircraft at the MRO company’s Budapest facility.
Starting from 1 August 2025, the contract includes 120 scheduled maintenance checks, a tailored commercial performance package to meet the airline’s operational needs, and access to Lufthansa Technik’s entire overhaul network for unscheduled and additional maintenance needs.
“We are grateful for Norwegian’s continued trust in Lufthansa Technik’s expertise, and we are pleased to extend our long-standing partnership,” said Marcus Motschenbacher, Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Aircraft Maintenance Services at Lufthansa Technik. “This ongoing cooperation demonstrates that our services are aligned with our customers’ needs. We look forward to continuing to contribute the expertise of our B737 Centre of Excellence in Budapest to the success of this innovative airline.”
The partnership first saw Lufthansa Technik provide component services and the maintenance of wheels and brakes, as well as engine overhauls for CFM56-7B engines. In 2012, the company began overhauling Norwegian’s 737NG fleet.
