Liebherr and Azul sign contract for the development of workshops in Brazil

Liebherr has signed a contract with Azul Linhas Aéreas to develop heat transfer equipment maintenance workshops in Azul’s hangars in Campinas and at Pampulha airport in Belo Horizonte (Brazil) for the airline’s Airbus A320 fleet. Liebherr will provide technical support, access to technical publications, training, supply of spare parts, tools, and equipment necessary to perform tests, cleaning, and repairs of the equipment.

By building the workshops, Azul will be able to offer more cost-effective customer service by saving on transportation logistics, insurance and customs costs, among others. The agreement covers a period of five years, with the option of being renewed.

“This agreement is a win-win partnership for both parties,” commented Joël Cadaux, Director Business & Services – Customer Services at Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS. “We can develop our repair network further and with sharing our know-how in the field of heat transfer equipment, Azul will be able to provide high-performance maintenance on its Airbus A320 fleet.”

“This partnership came to meet Azul's needs, expanding our service portfolio and making our operation even more efficient. With the construction of the workshops, in addition to the performance gains in the company, we are promoting more jobs in the regions of Campinas and Belo Horizonte and a valuable knowledge exchange with Liebherr. I am sure that this collaboration will bring us good results and will expand more and more,” said Plinio de Oliveira, Director of Maintenance MRO 145 at Azul.
