<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAlexis von Hoensbroech, WestJet Group Chief Executive Officer, said: \u201cWestJet was founded on the idea of improving air travel and making it affordable for Canadians. This historic contract award will allow us to bring critical engine repair operations home to\u00a0Canada\u00a0and provide greater efficiency and cost certainty to a critical part of our operations, all while demonstrating our commitment to improving our competitiveness and supporting the\u00a0Alberta\u00a0economy. We are proud to partner with Lufthansa Technik. This is an extraordinary moment for WestJet, our guests, WestJetters,\u00a0Western Canada\u2019s\u00a0communities and our suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under the framework of the agreement, Lufthansa Technik will provide WestJet,\u00a0Canada\u2019s\u00a0largest 737 MAX operator, with a broad range of services, such as quick turn shop visits, on-wing repairs and full performance restorations. The partnership encompasses WestJet\u2019s current fleet of more than 50 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft (of 200 total aircraft), a number that is expected to grow to over 130 before the end of the decade based on the airline\u2019s current order book. The CFM LEAP-1B engine repair operations for WestJet will be offered by Lufthansa Technik through its expansive global network. While overhauls will continue to take place at the main facility in\u00a0Hamburg, Germany, and the company\u2019s joint venture near Wroc\u0142aw,\u00a0Poland, Lufthansa Technik aims to introduce quick turn shop visits at the newly created repair station in\u00a0Calgary, Canada.<\/p>\n
Soeren Stark, Chief Executive Officer of Lufthansa Technik, said: \u201cThis agreement represents one of the largest awards ever granted to any MRO provider for CFM LEAP engines worldwide. It\u2019s a contract that underlines Lufthansa Technik\u2019s leading position in the support of new generation engine types. We greatly value WestJet\u2019s strong confidence in our extensive expertise and our ability to serve as a trusted long-term partner. At the same time, we are grateful for the strong support from our local allies in\u00a0Canada, which is essential in advancing the creation of a new engine repair shop and test cell facility in\u00a0Calgary.\u201d<\/p>\n
CFM International, the developer and manufacturer of the LEAP-1B engines, has established an open MRO ecosystem for its LEAP engine family. As a CFM Premier MRO partner, Lufthansa Technik is licensed to deliver full MRO services for these engines. The company was the first independent MRO provider recognized by CFM to service both LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines and has completed over 60 maintenance events, including the world\u2019s first LEAP-1A (Airbus version of the engine)\u00a0performance restoration shop visit (PRSV).<\/p>\n
Partnering to grow a world-class aviation hub in\u00a0Western Canada<\/strong><\/p>\nThe creation of Lufthansa Technik Canada\u2019s future facility is made possible through collaboration and funding from partners including the Government of\u00a0Canada, the Government of\u00a0Alberta, Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund (OCIF), Calgary Economic Development,\u00a0Calgary\u00a0International Airport and the Canada Infrastructure Bank. These partners have been vital in fostering the growth of\u00a0Calgary\u2019s\u00a0aviation cluster to date.<\/p>\n
The Calgary Airport Authority (The Authority) is proud to have signed a long-term lease agreement with Lufthansa Technik for an engine maintenance and test cell facility that will serve, amongst others, WestJet as a cornerstone customer. This\u00a0$120-million\u00a0investment has been secured with the support of the Government of\u00a0Alberta, the Canada Infrastructure Bank, PrairiesCan and OCIF, in collaboration with Calgary Economic Development. The Authority will oversee the financing, planning, construction, and deployment phases of the related buildings, which will occupy nine acres of prime airport real estate, integrated seamlessly with\u00a0Calgary\u00a0International Airport\u2019s strategic growth plans. The facility will boost regional economic development and reinforce\u00a0Calgary\u2019s\u00a0role as a gateway for international aviation innovation and excellence, while providing airlines access to world-class facilities to ensure reliable, efficient and lower cost maintenance services.<\/p>\n
The Government of\u00a0Canada, through PrairiesCan, is investing\u00a0$8 million\u00a0for the Calgary Airport Authority to construct, fit out and equip the new 150,000 square foot aircraft engine maintenance and test facility at the\u00a0Calgary\u00a0International Airport.<\/p>\n
The Government of\u00a0Alberta\u00a0is providing the Lufthansa Technik engine test cell and maintenance facility with a total support amount of\u00a0$7.45 million\u00a0through a combination of\u00a0$3 million\u00a0from the Investment and Growth Fund and\u00a0$4.45 million\u00a0from the Aerospace Workforce Development Grant. The Investment and Growth Fund is a deal closing incentive program that helps\u00a0Alberta\u00a0support high value, private sector, job-creating investments. The Aerospace Workforce Development Grant is aimed to provide training and workforce development support that attract investment, drive innovation and spur transformative economic development in\u00a0Alberta\u2019s\u00a0aerospace sector.<\/p>\n
OCIF is investing up to\u00a0$2.5 million\u00a0over four years to support Lufthansa Technik in establishing its\u00a0Western Canada\u00a0headquarters in\u00a0Calgary\u00a0including its MRO repair facility and test cell. The facility will work on more sustainable fuel and next generation engines. This initiative targets expansion of the region\u2019s talent pool, while providing hands-on training, and positions\u00a0Calgary\u00a0as a leader in aerospace development. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Calgary Economic Development (CED) played a key role in Lufthansa Technik\u2019s expansion to\u00a0Calgary\u00a0by connecting its leadership with key stakeholders and showcasing the city\u2019s competitive business environment and thriving aviation sector. CED also highlighted\u00a0Calgary\u2019s\u00a0skilled talent pool through detailed projections, post-secondary partnerships, and technical expertise.<\/p>\n
The wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik plans to create up to 160 new jobs in\u00a0Calgary\u00a0by 2030. Construction of the engine maintenance facility is scheduled to begin mid-2025 and is expected to take about two years. Once completed, it will allow for a range of engine maintenance functions and work that has been historically performed outside\u00a0Canada. To prepare for operations, a dedicated training centre will open this year to equip new employees with the necessary skills. Recruitment for various positions will begin soon.<\/p>\n
Lufthansa Technik\u2019s expansion into\u00a0Western Canada\u00a0supports its \u201cAmbition 2030\u201d strategy, focusing on investments in core operations and global growth. A key part of this is enhancing MRO capabilities to meet growing demand, especially for the CFM LEAP-1B engine. The aircraft powerplant of the Boeing 737 MAX is becoming the leading engine in the Americas region. This presents significant opportunities for Lufthansa Technik to grow business with various North American airlines. To capitalize on this growth, the company plans to significantly scale up its quick-turn capacities and bolster its footprint in the region.<\/p>\n
WestJet\u2019s focus on regional development is evident in its global aviation hub in\u00a0Calgary. As a result of strategic investments, the city has become the most connected mid-sized hub in\u00a0North America. WestJet\u2019s ongoing commitment to building a world-class aerospace cluster in\u00a0Calgary\u00a0contributes to economic growth and creating new job opportunities. This next phase of WestJet\u2019s growth will not only strengthen\u00a0Calgary\u2019s\u00a0position in the global aviation landscape but also enhance the economic prosperity of the region. The multi-billion-dollar contract and partnership between WestJet and Lufthansa Technik builds on the foundational WestJet-Government of Alberta Memorandum of Understanding to stimulate economies, create sustainable employment and build infrastructure for continued expansion.<\/p>\n
