Arik Air Partners Lufthansa Technik on Safety

Arik Air has signed a new partnership deal with Lufthansa Technik of Germany to maintain the safe operations and support further growth of the Nigerian airline.

The duo agreed to strengthen their partnership that was first consummated about five years ago during a meeting held at Arik Air corporate head office in Lagos, recently.

Under the new partnership, Lufthansa Technik and Lufthansa Cityline will continue to provide technical support to Arik Air in the areas of line maintenance, base maintenance, materials, personnel training and the establishment of a Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility in Nigeria.

Mr. Clemens Schrettl who led the Lufthansa team said: “Lufthansa is happy with the partnership we have had with Arik in the last five years and this is why we are here today to renew that cooperation and seek further areas of cooperation with the airline. We are looking at taking this partnership to the next level”.

In his response, Mr. Chris Ndulue, Arik Air executive vice President/Managing Director, who led the airline’s team to the meeting, thanked Lufthansa for their technical support over the years. According to him, the airline looks forward to exploring new areas of cooperation and strengthening of existing relationship.

“Our association with Lufthansa Technik and Lufthansa Cityline has been of great advantage in the maintenance of our young aircraft fleet. It also underscores our commitment to the safety of our guests at all times,” he said.
