South Korean airline Air Premia has entered into a long-term component support agreement with Lufthansa Technik. Under the agreement, Lufthansa Technik will provide total component support services for Air Premia's 787-9 Dreamliner fleet over the next 10 years.
This is the first collaboration between the two companies. Air Premia will have direct access to Lufthansa Technik's worldwide component pool, enabling faster part availability and significant cost savings compared to in-house procurement. A dedicated home base stock will be stationed at Incheon International Airport.
"In a time of global supply chain uncertainty, it was essential for us to secure a reliable partner," said Air Premia executive director of procurement Seong-Gab Kim. “This agreement ensures that Air Premia can operate its fleet with greater stability and efficiency.”
