Lufthansa Technik AG and the Indian international carrier Jet Airways have expanded their cooperation. Representatives of both companies signed a Total Component Maintenance (TCM) contract for Jet Airways' narrowbody fleet of 80 Boeing 737NG, with single components repaired in a closed-loop and flat rate-based process. 

In addition, the existing Total Component Support (TCS®) contract for Jet Airways' widebody fleet was extended by another seven years. The contract comprises an extensive component pooling-based support for ten Boeing 777 and eight Airbus A330 aircraft.

Amit Agarwal, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Jet Airways, said:"As India's premier international airline, Jet Airways follows a stringent selection process for service providers. We are pleased to expand the scope of our ongoing relationship with Lufthansa Technik to include our Boeing 737NG fleet, in addition to our A330 and 777 fleets, for which they have been a reliable component supplier for many years. We look forward to an excellent partnership with them."
