Go Airlines (GoAir), one of the leading domestic carriers in India, and Lufthansa Technik AG have prematurely extended their component support contract for the airline's present and future fleet of Airbus A320 classic and A320neo aircraft respectively. The Total Component Support TCS® agreement covers most of the spare parts required for the regular maintenance of 19 A320 aircraft as well as the new A320neo fleet until 2026. Two A320neo have been put into service recently, with a total of 144 being on order.
Lufthansa Technik Services India (LTSI) is providing spare parts to the airline's bases at Mumbai and Delhi. LTSI is a fully-owned Lufthansa Technik Group company focusing on regional component services. The company cooperates closely with Lufthansa Technik's AOG Materials Desk (Aircraft on Ground) in Hamburg. GoAir enjoys access to the full service spectrum of integrated and comprehensive Total Component Support on a 24/7 basis, ranging from component pooling and material management to customer services as well as logistics and transport services. In addition, GoAir has access to Lufthansa Technik's Technical Operations WebSuite manage/m®, giving both partners the possibility to observe just-in-time inventory management.
Zang Thio, Vice President Corporate Sales Southeast Asia and Australia at Lufthansa Technik, commented: "We are very proud that GoAir, one of the most successful airlines in the booming Indian aviation market, has decided to continue our trustful relationship. With our high in-house component repair capabilities we are looking forward to support and assist GoAir in successfully expanding their business."
