The two airline groups have concluded a US$100m global catering agreement and a Memorandum of Understanding to co-operate on aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul.
Addressing a press conference today in Abu Dhabi, the chief executives of both airline groups spelled out plans to broaden their commercial partnership.
A four-year catering contract will see Lufthansa’s LSG Sky Chefs division provide catering services to Etihad Airways in 16 cities in Europe, Asia and the Americas. This will make LSG the largest provider of catering services to the UAE’s national airline outside its Abu Dhabi home base.
Etihad Aviation Group and Lufthansa Technik have also signed an MoU to explore co-operation in maintenance, repair and overhaul services across Etihad Airways and its airline equity partners, as well as opportunities for synergies with Etihad Airways Engineering.
