Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey expands business relationship in Italy

Italian Cargo Airline MiniLiner and Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey, the leading provider for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of regional airlines’ engines, signed a contract of the airlines’ Fokker 50 fleet, which includes spare engine support as well.

Over the next three years, Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey will exclusively serve the PW100 series engines on time and material terms.

“Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey convinced us with their longstanding experience with PW100 series engines, comprehensive engineering support beyond shop event management, short geographic distance, efficient processes and structures and an airline minded approach which contributes to built an operation that requires a perfect reliability”, said Giuseppe Berlusconi, Managing Director of MiniLiner.

“MiniLiner’s decision for our technical support package is an efficient step which will provide them not only with additional savings and the highest reliability but also with shortest response times”, said Jörg Femerling, Vice President Marketing & Sales, Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey.

The Italian carrier – founded 1982 and based at  Orio Airport (Bergamo) – operates two Fokker 50 Cargo Aircrafts; additional two aircrafts which are leased-out presently are planned to be added later on.

The range of engine services offered by Lufthansa Technik AERO Alzey extends from total engine support to custom repair and overhaul of engines, modules and individual parts, to engineering, to warranty servicing and repairs, to logistical and consulting services. The portfolio includes the PW100 series, PW150, GE CF34-3 and CF34-8.
