Austrian Airlines has signed a 15-year exclusive agreement with Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey (LTAA) for the provision of engine MRO services of the carriers current and future fleet of CF34-10E powered E195 aircraft.
"Based on the excellent performance and support on earlier CF34 models and having finally reached an ambitious and faithful agreement we have further expanded our business with LTAA and have them selected for CF34-10E MRO services covering our entire Embraer 195 fleet. We are very confident that this will be most beneficial to our Airline and will provide best service and operational stability for the Embraer 195, the new member in our fleet," said Klaus Schludnig, acting VP Technical.
"After signing the PW150A engine MRO agreement back in September, we are very proud to expand this business relationship by providing now maintenance, repair and overhaul services for Austrian Airlines' fleet of CF34-10E engines through such a long-term agreement," says Martin Hach, COO of LTAA.

Austrian Airlines is Austria's largest carrier and operates a global route network of round 130 destinations.
