SWISS and Lufthansa Technik continue component support for Boeing 777 fleet

SWISS and Lufthansa Technik have renewed their long-standing collaboration on component support for the airline’s Boeing 777 fleet. An exclusive 10-year contract, covering all 12 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, will commence in January 2026.

This new agreement seamlessly extends the Total Component Support (TCS) that Lufthansa Technik has been providing to SWISS for this aircraft type over the past 10 years.

For SWISS, the contract continues to ensure component maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), access to Lufthansa Technik’s global spare parts pool, and logistical support through a dedicated homebase stock located on SWISS’ premises in Zurich. In addition to the Boeing 777 fleet, Lufthansa Technik already provides these services for the airline’s Airbus A320ceo, A320neo, A330, A340, as well as the growing A350 fleet.

Beyond the TCS, Lufthansa Technik also contributes to enhancing the efficiency of SWISS’ Boeing 777 operations. All twelve aircraft are equipped with the company’s innovative AeroSHARK surface technology, developed in collaboration with BASF Coatings. This sharkskin-inspired modification reduces aerodynamic drag and improves fuel efficiency by around one percent. SWISS was among the first airlines to use this technology.
