Lufthansa Technik to supply components for regional jets for Garuda Indonesia in Jakarta
With its new contract for complete component supply for Garuda
Indonesia’s fleet of Bombardier CRJ1000s, the Hamburg-based MRO
provider Lufthansa Technik AG has now established a presence in the
growth market of Indonesia. As part of a long-term Total Component
Support (TCS®) contract concluded with GMF AeroAsia, Garuda’s
technical support provider, Lufthansa Technik will immediately take
over the complete supply of components for up to 18 modern CRJ1000
regional aircraft.
Total Component Support covers a comprehensive spectrum of services,
including the supply of spare parts from Lufthansa Technik’s
component pool, maintenance, repair and overhaul of removed
components, and supply for Garuda’s warehouse at the Indonesian flag
carrier’s home airport in Jakarta. Logistics and the set-up of the
necessary IT interfaces have also been agreed in the contract.
“We’re very pleased that we have been able to place our component
product successfully in Indonesia as well. Indonesia is enjoying
above-average development in the Asian growth market, and naturally
we’d like to be a part of that,” says Robin Johansson, Lufthansa
Technik’s Director Sales for South East Asia and Australia.
Garuda Indonesia serves 42 domestic and 20 international destinations
and operates a strongly growing fleet of 110 aircraft that currently
includes twelve CRJ1000s.
