SunExpress and Lufthansa Technik ink five-year agreement for engine MRO

SunExpress Airlines, a joint venture of Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa Technik, has signed a deal with Lufthansa Technik for comprehensive engine MRO services for its fleet of Boeing 737-800s and 737-8s. 

The five-year contracts were signed at the airline's headquarters in Antalya. The deal encompasses legacy CFM56-7B engines powering its 737-800s as well as the latest-generation CFM LEAP-1B engines used on the airline's 737-8s. 

"This strategic partnership reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of reliability and performance across our Boeing 737 fleet,” said Cemil Sayar, chief operating officer at SunExpress. 

“By covering both our legacy CFM56-7B engines and the latest-generation LEAP-1B engines, the agreement supports our fleet development while ensuring high-quality MRO services."
