FL Technics secures new wheels and brakes contract with Wizz Air

From October, FL Technics will be providing wheels and brakes services for the carriers ever-expanding fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft family.

This integrated approach will allow FL Technics to maximise the efficiency of its services and contribute to the airlines’ effort in reducing impact on the environment, both by faster turn-around-times and lower flight ranges necessary between the maintenance visits.

Julia Brix, Head of Technical Services for Wizz Air Group, comments: “The airline group has an order book of more than 350 A320 family aircraft and needs tailored services for save and reliable operation. FL Technics’ competitive cost base, operational flexibility and high performance quality gave us the confidence to award the Wheels and Brakes business to FL Technics.”

Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO of FL Technics, pointed out the long-term partnership: “With sustainable business in mind, our teams have been long-term partners now in a number of business areas including line maintenance and base services. Trust gained over the years lead to this new development and cooperation, to further expand synergies between our organizations.”
