Maximus Air, headquartered in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), is one of the largest freight carriers in the Middle East and North Africa. Maximus Air and Lufthansa Technik AG are now expanding their cooperation: the airline's existing contract for component supply from Lufthansa Technik has been extended by five years, and new aircraft have been added. In addition, Lufthansa Technik will carry out line maintenance in Europe for Maximus Air's Airbus A300-600 freighters.
Maximus Air has had a Total Component Support TCS® contract for four years for the carrier's current two A300-600 freighters. This agreement has now been expanded to include three more freighters being added to the fleet, and simultaneously extended to cover all five aircraft through 2016. At the same time, Maximus Air has commissioned Lufthansa Technik with line maintenance and A- and C-checks in Leipzig and Brussels.
"The relationship we have enjoyed with Lufthansa Technik over recent years has been integral to our success . We are therefore pleased to expand this close cooperation to cover our growing fleet," said Fathi Hilal Buhazza, President and CEO Maximus Air. "The support of a dedicated maintenance provider ensures optimum availability of our aircraft at all times and the shortest response times in case of issues which in turn allows us to maintain the reliable, high quality service for which we have become renowned."
