Jeaid described the agreement with Lufthansa Technik as a “rare opportunity” to train many young Saudis in a high-tech sector. On his part, Henningsen said the NAS management has an ambitious vision and that Lufthansa Technik is confident of the successful implementation of the agreement. “Keeping in mind the growing aviation market in the Gulf region, we are confident of jointly increasing our market share,” he said. The 10-year agreement authorizes NAS Tech to maintain large civil aircraft, including from Airbus, Boeing and Embraer. It also includes the maintenance of business jets such as Gulfstream, Hawker, Falcon and Cessna, the Saudi Gazette reported.
