TUI fly breaks lubricant performance milestone

Mobil Jet™ Oil II gas turbine lubricant helps airline set time-on-wing record

The customer: TUI fly airline

• German leisure airline owned by the TUI Group, the world’s leading tourism group
• Operates nearly 40 aircraft from 10 German bases to about 40 destinations
• Flies charter and scheduled flights to and from points in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean

The challenge

As a leading leisure airline, TUI fly’s success depends on providing its travelers with consistently comfortable, on-time and trouble-free flights. To this end, the airline set out to extend TUI fly’s time-on-wing for aircraft engines operating on regular flights from Palma de Mallorca, Spain, to Hannover, Germany.

To set this record, the airline needed a lubricant that would help:

• Control deposits
• Keep oil systems clean
• Extend engine life and reduce maintenance

Results

On May 10, 2012, TUI fly set a new time-on-wing record for an aircraft engine on the flight from Palma de Mallorca, Spain, to Hannover, Germany.

• The Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft accumulated 17,596 cycles and 50,005 hours without a shop visit for the Snecma CFM56-7B engine.
• The engine had been in service for more than 10 years.
• After-flight inspections found oil-wetted parts engine exceptionally clean.
