South Korean carrier Air Premia has agreed to have airframe components for its Boeing 787-9 fleet maintained by the Lufthansa Technik facility in Shenzhen, China. The Europe-based maintenance, repair, and overhaul group announced the contract on Monday at the Singapore Airshow.

Under a 10-year contract, the Shenzhen center will support Air Premia’s nine Dreamliners, which are powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. The agreement covers component lease and exchange services through Lufthansa Technik’s global network.
