Lufthansa, Jet may ink deal for B777 support

Hamburg: Lufthansa Technik may sign a multi-million dollar contract with India's largest private airline Jet Airways to support its Boeing B777 aircraft.
Lufthansa Technik, a leading aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) major, is also planning to set up a regional component pool in India to support the existing customers.
Lufthansa Technik had recently signed an agreement with Jet Airways for technical and component support for its Airbus A340 and Boeing 737 aircraft fleet.
Executives pointed out that based on the increased volume of components, Lufthansa Technik's Indian subsidiary, One Stop Airline MRO Support, will set up a regional component pool to support existing customers as well as future customers within India.
Last month, Kingfisher Airlines and Lufthansa Technik signed a contract amendment for an exclusive technical support of the new Airbus A320 fleet - an extension of an existing contract of 17 aircraft, initially.
The Wadia-promoted budget carrier GoAir also send its V2500 engines for repair and overhaul to Lufthansa Technik, while this German major provides various component repairs as well as structural parts to Air-India and Indian Airlines.
