Lufthansa Technik and Cebu Pacific, a Philippine carrier, have further strengthened their partnership. The new contract enables access to Lufthansa Technik’s Consumables and Expendables for Cebu Pacific’s fleet.
Consumable and Expendable contract
The manufacturing company and Cebu Pacific both signed a contract for the integrated Consumable and Expendables supply for the airline’s 100 fleet of aircraft. This also includes the airline’s Airbus A320, A321ceo/neo, and A330neo models.
Lufthansa Technik has an inventory of over 400,000 parts and offers access to a broad portfolio of consumables and expendables due to its thousands of suppliers. The company is acting as an integrator in the Consumable and Expendable segment, while providing customers with a one-stop shopping experience.
Shevantha Weerasekera, vice president of Engineering and fleet management at Cebu Pacific, stated that the partnership marks a step forward in strengthening the reliability and efficiency of their operations. Weerasekera complimented Lufthansa Technik on its proven expertise, global reach, flexible service, and believes in the company’s capability in supporting the airline’s fleet of aircraft with the right materials.
Tim Oliver Fedeler, senior director of product sales and fulfilment APAC at Lufthansa Technik, added that Lufthansa Technik has a vast amount of knowledge in consumables and expendables, and will support Cebu Pacific. Oliver Fedeler also stated the importance and consequences of missing Consumables and Expendables, stating the effects it can have on an aircraft. He said:
“We are excited to support Cebu Pacific with knowledge in consumables and expendables, our experience and the strength of our global logistics network. Even tiny missing consumable and expendable parts can ground the largest aircraft. When it comes to flying, being strong in small parts makes a big difference.”
