Lufthansa Technik AG is to provide comprehensive technical support
for the new Eurowings long-haul fleet. The agreement was reached with
SunExpress Germany, which operates intercontinental flights from
Germany for the Lufthansa Group under the Eurowings brand.

In the framework of a Total Technical Support TTS®, Lufthansa Technik
will among other aspects handle component supply, aircraft
maintenance, engineering services and the supply of consumables for
up to seven Airbus A330-200 widebody aircraft of the airline.

“Safety is a top priority for SunExpress, which is why we are now
also proud to rely on the dependable work of Lufthansa Technik for
the technical support and maintenance of our long-haul jets,” says
Jaan Albrecht, CEO of SunExpress.

Robert Gaag, Senior Vice President Corporate Sales EUMEA at Lufthansa
Technik comments: “We are delighted to extend the long-standing
intensive and trusted cooperation between SunExpress Germany and
Lufthansa Technik. This contract also allows us to make a valuable
contribution to the new low-cost strategy of the Lufthansa Group –
based on the familiar high quality and safety standards. We will
continue to nurture the intensive exchange between our companies and
enhance joint processes closely and in a partnership-like manner to
the success of the airline.”

The comprehensive Total Support contract also covers integrated
component supply (Total Component Support, TCS®). This includes the
overhaul of components, transport services, spare part pooling and
material leasing services at the home base of the Eurowings long-haul
fleet at Cologne-Bonn airport in Germany. Lufthansa Technik is also
looking after wheels and brakes for the aircraft in this context.

Thanks to extensive engineering services (Aircraft Engineering
Services, AES), Lufthansa Technik plans, manages and monitors the
maintenance of the Eurowings A330 fleet and additionally maintains
the machines at the Cologne base. This also includes comprehensive
supply of consumables and expendables (C&E) for the aircraft.

The new agreement is a further step in the long-standing and trusted
cooperation with SunExpress at its base in Antalya, Turkey, as well
as SunExpress Germany in Frankfurt. Lufthansa Technik has, for
example, already provided substantial technical support for other
sub-fleets and performed engine overhauls and aircraft painting for
the German/Turkish airline.

Moreover, Lufthansa Technik upgraded the cabins of the Eurowings A330
aircraft at its Hamburg base last year.
