It is a great opportunity for us to work with Lufthansa Technik, the number one completion centre in the world“, said a member of the customer’s senior management. “I think we just made a small step. But I believe we can develop a good relationship with this important project. And I really expect a meaningful result based on Lufthansa Technik’s professionalism and craftsmanship.

We are very proud to welcome this new VIP customer for a major refurbishment from Asia here at our facility in Hamburg,” said Jan Grube, Head of Asia Sales for VIP & Special Mission Aircraft at Lufthansa Technik. “The Asian VIP aircraft market has become more and more important for our business over the past years. More than 30 completions and major refurbishments in the Asian region clearly demonstrate that our expertise and broad service portfolio are well accepted by our customers in this part of the world.”
