Delta TechOps and Austria’s largest carrier, Austrian Airlines, announced the signing of an engine maintenance agreement between the two parties. The exclusive agreement covers PW4060 engine maintenance for up to six years supporting the airline’s Boeing 767 fleet.

As the maintenance division of Delta Air Lines, Delta TechOps has numerous years of experience both operating and maintaining PW4000 engines. Delta TechOps will conduct scheduled full overhaul shop visits. In addition to regularly scheduled maintenance on these engines, Delta TechOps will support any unscheduled engine work as required.

“Our common vision of a good business relationship relies on enthusiasm, team spirit, sustainability, fairness and efficiency, which can only be achieved by consistent communication and shared passion for what we are doing,” said Michael Xavier Kaye, Austrian Airlines’ Vice President Technical Operations. “With Delta Air Lines we found a strong partner, as passionate and enthusiastic as Austrian Airlines, with an experience in the services of PW4000 engines which is second to none.”

“We are pleased that Austrian Airlines selected Delta TechOps for their PW4000 engine maintenance,” said Mike Moore, Delta TechOps’ Senior VP – Maintenance Operations. “We look forward to working with them in the coming years and hope to continue to support them with technical requirements the team may have going forward.”
