Boeing appoints Lufthansa Technik as licensed service centre for 787 modifications
On top of a raft of order announcements on day one of Farnborough International Airshow, Boeing also revealed an agreement for Lufthansa Technik to become its first Boeing-licensed Services Center for cabin modifications on 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The technical aircraft services provider is now licensed to perform interior modifications on the 787 as an external MRO service provider.
“Through this novel collaboration, customers will benefit from Lufthansa Technik’s decades of MRO experience and familiarity with the 787 platform,” said Doug Backhus, vice president of Boeing Cabins, Modifications and Maintenance.
Along with the license granted by Boeing, Lufthansa Technik will also cover certification of the modification projects with works carried out at one of the MRO provider’s global network facilities, including its site in Malta.
Harald Gloy, COO at Lufthansa Technik added: “As Boeing’s licensed Service Center for cabin modification of the 787, we are pleased to contribute our expertise in this area and to create additional capacity in the market as the world’s largest MRO provider.:
Preparations are now underway for Lufthansa Technik to start its first 787 cabin modification project in 2025.
