FIA20204: Lufthansa Technik to Service Vietjet

DALLAS —  MRO provider Lufthansa Technik has entered into an exclusive Total Component Support (TCS) agreement with Vietnamese "new-age carrier" Vietjet (VJ).

Starting in October 2024, this all-inclusive multi-year arrangement for 184 Airbus A320 family and nine Airbus A330 aircraft covers a wide range of component services for Vietjet's expanding fleet, guaranteeing the airline's operational excellence and the best possible maintenance.

The German MOR provider says that while VJ was the first client in Asia Pacific to use the AVIATAR Technical Logbook, this new contract, signed at FIA2024, is the biggest TSC deal its MRO has obtained in the Southeast Asian region.
