Saudia Technic and Lufthansa Technik have formalized a ten-year Total Component Support (TCS) contract during the Dubai Airshow, with a specific focus on Saudia's Airbus fleet. Expanding on Lufthansa Technik's ongoing provision of components to Saudia's Boeing fleet since the beginning of the year, this collaboration marks a significant step in enhancing operational efficiency and excellence within the aviation industry. A joint training program, set to commence in January 2024, further underscores the commitment to mutual growth.

Covering 53 Airbus A320 and 31 A330 aircraft, the TCS contract provides Saudia Technic with 24/7 access to Lufthansa Technik's global component pool. The agreement incorporates Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support, ensuring the shortest possible delivery time for time-critical components. This strategic collaboration is poised to strengthen Saudia Technic's technical operations and complement its existing resources. Lufthansa Technik is already providing support for Saudia's Boeing fleet, including 39 Boeing 777 (35 777-300ER and four 777F) and 18 Boeing 787 aircraft (13 787-9 and five 787-10).

Fahd H. Cynndy, Chief Executive Officer of Saudia Technic, expressed confidence in the partnership, stating, "Due to the excellent experience with Lufthansa Technik with regard to the Total Component Support for our Boeing fleet, we didn't hesitate to also award the contract for our Airbus fleet to them. We look forward to expanding our close partnership even further."

Harald Gloy, Chief Operating Officer of Lufthansa Technik, conveyed his enthusiasm, saying, "We are very honored to also support the Airbus fleet for Saudia Technic. Our cooperation is based on decades of a trustful relationship which we are more than happy to continue. We are delighted to service our partner Saudia Technic on its growth path in the next years."
