Pegasus Airlines entrusted Lufthansa Technik with providing comprehensive Base Maintenance Services for its fast-growing Airbus A320 family fleet. The recently signed three-year agreement includes more than 60 checks on A320ceo, A320neo and A321neo aircraft of Türkiye’s second largest airline. All contracted services will be performed within a dedicated overhaul line at Lufthansa Technik Sofia.
Şerife Akın, Senior Purchasing Director at Pegasus Airlines commented: “The newly concluded contract and thus the long-term intensification of our cooperation with Lufthansa Technik gives us flexibility and at the same time guarantees our high quality standards. With our dedicated overhaul line at Lufthansa Technik Sofia, we are now optimally positioned for the coming years. It supports our goal to be one of the leading low-cost airlines in the industry, streamlining air travel and offering affordable fares to our valued customers.”
Marcus Motschenbacher, Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Aircraft Maintenance Services at Lufthansa Technik, said: “We are pleased to offer our customers a top-quality service and to make a valuable contribution to ensuring the stability of their flight operations with reliable overhauls. We already have a close and trustful collaboration with Pegasus Airlines, which enables us to respond individually to their needs, and we are honored to expand our successful business relationship.”
In recent years, this relationship has already covered, for example, the fields of Landing Gear Services and shorter collaborations for Base Maintenance Services. In the latter field, the new contract now marks the first ever multi-year agreement between the two partners. In addition, Pegasus Airlines uses solutions from Lufthansa Technik's AVIATAR digital platform for the targeted optimization of its technical operations.
Besides Lufthansa Technik Sofia, where the checks for Pegasus will be performed, Lufthansa Technik’s global base maintenance network moreover comprises major facilities on three continents, serving a broad range of customers from all over the world with comprehensive aircraft checks. Their service portfolio ranges from C-, IL- or D-checks on short-, medium-, and long-haul aircraft to modifications and other services.
