The agreement builds upon a previous contract between the two aerospace service providers and expands Lufthansa Technik's capabilities as a licensed MRO provider for UTC on the Dreamliner.

"UTC Aerospace Systems has remained committed to building a global MRO network to enhance customer support for our products on the 787, and we've been successful in doing this through our strong partner network," said Jim Patrick, vice president of customer service for UTC Aerospace Systems' Power, Controls and Sensing Systems segment. "We have developed a strong relationship with Lufthansa Technik over the years, and we are pleased to build upon our relationship to include a wider range of service and support that spans the UTC Aerospace Systems portfolio."

Lufthansa Technik and UTC Aerospace Systems' working relationship on Boeing 787 MRO services began in 2011, with Lufthansa Technik acting as licensed MRO service provider for a number of UTC Aerospace Systems components.
