Lufthansa Technik AG and NAS-Holding of Saudi Arabia are extending
their cooperation. Lufthansa Technik already provides component and
engine services for NAS fleet and support for the new technical
subsidiary NAS-Tech. Now the two partners will join forces in offering
technical services for customers in Saudi Arabia.
Customers
in Saudi Arabia will be addressed and served through a joint sales
organization representing both partners. The MRO services of NAS-Tech
and Lufthansa Technik complement each other perfectly, whether for VIP
and special mission aircraft or for maintenance and overhaul services
for commercial airlines in Saudi Arabia.
This
cooperation will allow the two partners to take on the complete
technical care of entire fleets, from production monitoring to the start
of flight operations and even the handover of an aircraft.
And
there are clear benefits for customers from this new joint portfolio of
technical services for the Saudi Arabian market: NAS has a local
technical presence in Riyadh and Jeddah stations and a deep
understanding of the specific needs of regional customers. Lufthansa
Technik can contribute the know-how of a company with a worldwide
network. Together, they add up to comprehensive solutions with the added
value of one-stop service.
Since the ten-year
cooperation agreement was signed in September 2010, engineers and
technical consultants from Lufthansa Technik have supported NAS's
technical business, NAS-Tech, in developing capacity for maintenance and
smaller overhauls. Lufthansa Technik has also taken over maintenance
services for the engines and components of the entire NAS fleet.
