Lufthansa Technik signs second Boeing 747-8 completion contract

Lufthansa Technik has signed a second completion contract for a Boeing 747-8. An appropriate signing with an undisclosed customer took place at the Dubai Airshow 2011. The completion will start in 2012.

Additionally, Lufthansa Technik is in talks with further interested parties for completions of the same type of aircraft.

“The signing of a second 747-8 completion contract within six months is a fantastic success for our VIP center in Hamburg”, said Walter Heerdt, Senior Vice President Marketing & Sales of Lufthansa Technik.
“And I am rather convinced that we will see further completion contracts for this aircraft type in the future. Besides having started engineering activities on the first Boeing 747-8 completion project which we could announce at EBACE 2011, we are also preparing our organization and service portfolio for the arrival of the first Lufthansa 747-8 in 2012. Due to this experience we will also be able to support our VIP customers with comprehensive maintenance, repair and overhaul services over the complete life cycle of the aircraft through our dedicated VIP aircraft maintenance organization.”

Currently, Lufthansa Technik has signed contracts or is in final talks about the completion of a considerable number of widebody and more than ten narrowbody aircraft. This means a remarkable workload for its completion centers.
