THE SPAIRLINERS' STORY
Spairliners was founded in 2005 as an independent company to provide comprehensive support to Airbus A380 operators in all market regions. The joint venture between two leading MRO providers – Air France Industries and Lufthansa Technik – is fully committed to supporting this aircraft type in the aftermarket.
When the first A380 entered into service in 2007, the new high-tech “superjumbo” challenged the MRO market with relatively expensive parts and a multitude of new technologies. Spairliners’ pooling concept and integrated service approach offered an innovative way of supplying these demanding small fleets both cost-effectively and efficiently.
Based on the success of our A380 component support, we extended our service portfolio to the Embraer E-Jet aircraft family in 2013.
Since its foundation, Spairliners has shown its strength in operating large component pools and supporting less common aircraft fleets in a more cost-effective manner.
SHAREHOLDERS
Spairliners is backed by two well-known MRO companies: Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI) and Lufthansa Technik (LHT).
Both MRO companies benefit from their proximity to world-leading airline groups. Our shareholders represent a global base of major airline customers and look back on many years of experience in technical aircraft support.
QUALITY AGREEMENT
Spairliners is certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2015, an internationally recognized quality management system standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The standard provides a framework for managing an organization’s quality process.
Our ISO 9001:2015 certification not only reflects our commitment to quality but ultimately our commitment to our customers’ business success.
