The multi-million dollar agreement was signed in Dubai during Dubai 2005 - the 9th International Aerospace Exhibition by Adel Al Redha, Emirates' Executive Vice President Engineering & Operations; and Walter Heerdt, Senior Vice President Marketing & Sales, Lufthansa Technik AG.
Mr Al Redha commented:
"Emirates is pleased to enter into this contract with the Lufthansa Technik Group to support our 777 landing gear overhaul and exchange schedule. At Emirates our goal is to continuously enhance our operations in terms of cost-efficiency, reliability and speed of technical services, which translates into an overall better service to our customers."
Lufthansa Technik Group subsidiary Hawker Pacific delivered its first overhauled Boeing 777 landing gear shipset in 2002 to a long-term European airline customer.
Mr Heerdt said: "This new agreement is a further milestone in the cooperative relationship between two renowned and sizable players in the modern aviation community."
He added: "Hawker Pacific is the only repair & overhaul (MRO) provider in the world to offer exchange assets for all three weight configurations of the Boeing 777. This offers Emirates the far-reaching synergies and support of the first independent MRO approved by Boeing for 777 landing gear work."
