February 06, Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lankan Cabinet has granted approval for a four-year contract to Lufthansa Technik (LHT) in Hamburg for the repair and maintenance of CFM 56-5B engines used by SriLankan Airlines.
These engines, which power the airline’s fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft, will undergo comprehensive servicing and overhaul to ensure their continued operational efficiency.
The decision follows an international competitive bidding process, in which a total of seven proposals were submitted. After careful review and evaluation by the Technical Evaluation Committee and the Standing Procurement Committee, the Cabinet, under the leadership of the President in his role as Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, endorsed the recommendation to award the contract to Lufthansa Technik, which was identified as the lowest responsive bidder.
This contract marks a significant step towards ensuring that SriLankan Airlines’ fleet remains in top operational condition, with Lufthansa Technik bringing its expertise and world-class standards to the repair and maintenance of these crucial engines.
