Lufthansa Technik Middle East and Killick Aerospace sign consignment agreement.

Providing storage solutions, spares and MRO solutions to customers in the Middle East region.

Lufthansa Technik Middle East (LTME) and Killick Aerospace have signed a consignment agreement to provide Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services where needed, and provide storage services for Killick’s Boeing 737 NG flight control surfaces and nacelles.

With the new agreement, LTME will become the preferred partner in the region when it comes to Killick Aerospace’s MRO requirements like inspections, repairs or overhaul of these spares. The agreement also allows Killick, a leading provider of commercial engine, airframe, as well as rotable parts and components, to store a number of its larger sized spares, for example flaps, spoilers and engine fan cowls, in LTME’s facility located at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Aerospace Hub in Dubai South. LTME will be able to provide these spares as a loan, exchange or sale to its customers. In this regard, both partners can especially build on LTME`s extensive expertise and experience with inspections and repairs of advanced composite materials.

Ziad Al Hazmi, Chief Executive Officer at Lufthansa Technik Middle East, comments:

“We are delighted to have signed a consignment agreement with a global leading aircraft parts distributer. On behalf of LTME, we would like to thank Killick Aerospace for choosing our company as their preferred MRO service provider, and the trust they have placed in our services. Our expert team at LTME is dedicated to provide top quality service for all our customers, and we are convinced that this collaboration will bring forth success and more business opportunities for both parties in the future.”

Stephen Donegan, Managing Director at Killick Aerospace, comments:

“We are very pleased to have entered into this agreement with LTME, furthering Killick’s longstanding relationship with Lufthansa Technik. The strategic placement of this equipment in Dubai will provide for immediate availability of flight critical spares to operators both locally and further afield, enhancing Killick’s ability to provide world class 24/7 support to our customers.”
