Boeing, ESG Elektroniksystem und Logistik-GmbH
and Lufthansa Technik signed a three-party agreement on Tuesday,
reinforcing joint efforts to support Germany’s new P-8A Poseidon
fleet.
The agreement builds on two separate Memoranda
of Understanding that were signed separately with ESG and
Lufthansa Technik in 2021 and now involves all three parties,
outlining additional detail regarding each company’s role in the
German P-8A program.
“We are expanding our partnership with ESG and
Lufthansa Technik in the form of a three-party agreement that will
allow us to best support our German customer and the operational
needs of the German Navy,” said Indra Duivenvoorde, Senior
Director, Boeing Government Services Europe & Israel. “This
partnership demonstrates our commitment to directly supporting our
customer locally with German industry primes.”

With the formalization of this new
partnership, Boeing, ESG and Lufthansa Technik will provide
support to the German customer in all areas of aircraft
sustainment and training that will bring the highest operational
availability to the German Navy’s P-8A fleet.
“This agreement underlines our joint performance
promise and our commitment to provide the Bundeswehr with urgently
needed capabilities,” said Christoph Otten, CEO ESG. “At the same
time, we see this as a special obligation to proactively
contribute our capabilities and competencies to the programme as a
long-standing technology and innovation partner of the German
Armed Forces and the Naval Aviation Command, particularly in the
areas of systems integration, aviation certification or secure
communication.”
Deployed around the world with nearly 150 aircraft
delivered or in service, and over 450,000 collective, mishap free
flight hours, the P-8A is vital for global anti-submarine warfare,
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and
search-and-rescue operations.
First deliveries to Germany are slated to take
place in 2024 and Boeing estimates that the P-8A program will
employ up to 250 people in Germany.
“The three companies complement each other in an
excellent way. This enables us to offer the best possible service
level over the entire life cycle of the aircraft,” commented
Michael von Puttkamer, Vice President Special Aircraft Services at
Lufthansa Technik. “We are very much looking forward to further
cooperation with our partners.”
