\"Land<\/a>Boeing and Lufthansa Technik Defense have agreed general terms for their roles in sustaining Germany\u2019s new CH-47F Block II Chinook heavy-lift helicopters. The agreement signed at the Farnborough International Airshow this Wednesday forms the base for the future sustainment for Germany\u2019s Chinook fleet and establishes the framework for a main contract under which Lufthansa Technik, together with Boeing, will set up an agile network of parts warehouses to support the operating bases for the CH-47Fs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis agreement marks an important step forward in ensuring sustained readiness of the German CH-47F Chinook fleet across different bases,\u201d said Torbjorn \u201cTurbo\u201d Sjogren, Vice President & General Manager, Boeing Global Services \u2013 Government Services. \u201cBy combining Boeing\u2019s sustainment expertise with Lufthansa Technik\u2019s logistics and MRO capabilities, we will establish a resilient solution to maximise aircraft availability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through its subsidiary Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services, Lufthansa Technik brings decades of experience in time-critical spare parts logistics; Boeing and Lufthansa Technik will combine that logistics expertise with Boeing\u2019s platform knowledge to deliver tailored parts provisioning, transport and warehousing for the German Armed Forces. It is also intended that Lufthansa Technik will manage the supply of Consumables and Expendables (C&E) for the German Chinooks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis agreement is a significant milestone, making the Chinook the first ever rotary-wing aircraft to join Lufthansa Technik\u2019s MRO portfolio. With our tailored parts logistics expertise, we will make a significant contribution to ensuring the high level of operational readiness that is essential for the sovereign German sustainment of the U.S.-procured Chinook fleet,\u201d said Michael von Puttkamer, Senior Vice President Special Aircraft & Defense at Lufthansa Technik. \u201cThe resilience of the parts supply chain is key to this endeavor, and with our industry-leading logistics concepts, we are confident that we can reduce spare-parts-related downtime to a minimum.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CH-47F agreement represents a further collaboration between Boeing and Lufthansa Technik Defense on technical sustainment for German military assets procured through the U.S. foreign military sales program. In autumn 2025, Boeing and Lufthansa Technik Defense signed a comprehensive sustainment services program for the German Navy\u2019s P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft. Spanning aircraft checks, component support and engine condition monitoring through to technical training and qualification, that program demonstrates how the two companies together contribute to the technical availability and mission readiness of Germany\u2019s largest airborne weapon systems.<\/p>\n
