Collins Aerospace and Lufthansa Technik Sign A320neo Nacelle MRO License Agreement

  • Provides operators with expanded maintenance, repair and overhaul options
  • Enhanced aftermarket services reduce operating costs for airlines

Collins Aerospace Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), and Lufthansa Technik AG today announced a licensing agreement for nacelle Maintenance Repair & Overhaul (MRO) services on A320neo aircraft. Collins Aerospace, the original equipment manufacturer for the A320neo PW1100G nacelle, has more than 1,100 nacelles in service on this aircraft platform.

The agreement, which continues the collaboration between Collins Aerospace and Lufthansa Technik, calls for Collins Aerospace to provide Lufthansa Technik with technical and repair process information, access to OEM tooling, and rotable asset pools to support a full suite of A320neo nacelle MRO services. Building upon Collins Aerospace’s eight strategically located nacelle MRO facilities, the agreement now opens A320neo operators to LHT’s expansive MRO network around the world. Access to this expanded MRO network together with in-region asset presence and the enhanced ability to conduct on-site repairs around the world will reduce aircraft downtime, passenger delays, and transportation costs incurred by the airline.

“As a result of this agreement A320neo operators now have access to multiple high-quality repair center locations for nacelle MRO services,” said Marc Duvall, president of Aerostructures at Collins Aerospace. “The collaborative relationship between Lufthansa Technik and Collins Aerospace, which also includes the 787 and A350XWB nacelles, ensures a high standard of quality while meeting the demands of airlines with full confidence.”
