Woodward, Lufthansa Technik enter licensed repair service facility agreement

Woodward (WWD) and Lufthansa Technik have entered an elite licensed repair service facility agreement, or LRSF, reinforcing their cooperation for support of Woodward components on the CFM International LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines. As part of Woodward’s newly established two-tier global support network, Lufthansa Technik is the first network partner authorized to provide the complete range of repair and overhaul services on Woodward fuel controls, valves, and actuators on the CFM LEAP engines. For operators of Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, this agreement will translate into enhanced service resilience and greater planning certainty. Lufthansa Technik, as a CFM Premier MRO provider, already supports a significant number of CFM LEAP engine-powered aircraft. The elite partnership further strengthens Lufthansa Technik’s ability to deliver integrated, OEM-aligned repair and overhaul services for Woodward fuel controls, actuators, and valves – the critical system that drives engine performance and reliability – as CFM LEAP fleets continue to grow. As part of the collaboration, Lufthansa Technik will invest in advanced tooling and test equipment to enable full Elite-level capabilities for Woodward components.
