Lufthansa Technik takes over component service for Azerbaijan Airlines

Azerbaijan Airlines and Lufthansa Technik AG have signed a comprehensive five-year Total Component Support (TCS) contract for the national airline of the Republic of Azerbaijan's long-haul Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet.

The airline's first TCS contract, effective May 1, will significantly strengthen Azerbaijan Airlines' technical operations. It gives the airline 24/7 access to Lufthansa Technik's global spare parts pool network. The TCS includes, among other things, AOG support (Aircraft On Ground), which guarantees Azerbaijan Airlines the shortest delivery times for time-critical components. In a key strategic move, the contract has been adjusted to provide additional flexibility to easily accommodate the airline's planned fleet expansion.

"We are honored to support Azerbaijan Airlines on their growth path with our proven component support and it is a particular honor for us to serve their flagship," said Andreas van de Kuil, Vice President Sales Central Europe & CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States/Commonwealth of Independent States) at Lufthansa Technik. “With this contract we live up to our excellent reputation as a reliable partner in the global MRO industry and continue to expand our market share in the CIS region.”
