As part of a Total Technical Support contract (TTS®) concluded between Lufthansa Technik AG and the newly founded SunExpress Deutschland GmbH, Lufthansa Technik Logistik (LTL) will assume responsibility for the complete routine and ad hoc provisioning of consumable and expendable materials for line maintenance of SunExpress aircraft.

In addition, Customer Support will be available to SunExpress 365 days a year, around the clock (24/7). This and LTL's network throughout Germany will ensure that non-routine material needed in the event of an AOG (aircraft on ground) situation can be provided at short notice," notes Seven Domke, who heads up Consumables Supply at Lufthansa Technik Logistik, in describing important customer benefits of the contract.
