Safran Landing Systems and Lufthansa Technik signed a 10-year Support and Services Agreement (SSA) at the Farnborough International Airshow for Airbus A320 family, A330, A340 and A350 landing gear and hydraulic equipment. This long-term partnership is the result of several years of collaboration between the two companies to address current and future maintenance needs.

Under this SSA, Safran Landing Systems will provide Lufthansa Technik with comprehensive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) support for its worldwide maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations including the supply of certified spare parts, advanced technical and engineering assistance and access to updated maintenance documentation for all covered aircraft programs. Safran Landing Systems and Lufthansa Technik will work together, combining their specialized knowledge to optimize maintenance planning, component repairs, and strengthen operational continuity across their global network.

In addition, the agreement will specifically support the development of A350 MRO activities at Lufthansa Technik Landing Gear Services UK in London, giving Lufthansa Technik direct access to the latest data and repair solutions from the OEM, Safran Landing Systems. Likewise, this SSA will ensure continued full support for legacy aircraft A320 family, A330 and A340 at the landing gear facilities of Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg.

Berit Plewinsky, Vice President Aircraft Component Services at Lufthansa Technik said: “This Support and Services Agreement exemplifies the best of our MRO world: combining the specialized knowledge and skills of the Lufthansa Technik Landing Gear network with the OEM Safran Landing Systems in order to jointly serve our customers and ensure that market volume and demands are met with the highest professional standard.”

“This agreement reflects the trust built between our companies over several years of collaboration,” added Darren Waite, Executive Vice President, Customer Support & Services at Safran Landing Systems. “Through this partnership, Safran Landing Systems will provide Lufthansa Technik with OEM expertise, reliable spare parts and technical support to help maintain and enhance Airbus fleets worldwide.”
