Lufthansa Technik Named Boeing-Licensed Service Center for 787 Modifications

Our Bureau - : Jul 23, 2024 - : 3:10 am

Boeing and Lufthansa Technik have announced an agreement designating Lufthansa Technik as the first Boeing-Licensed Service Center (BLSC) for cabin modifications on the 787 Dreamliner, expanding market options and capacity.

As a BLSC, Lufthansa Technik is now licensed to perform interior modifications on the 787, serving as an external MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) provider.

“We are pleased to bring additional interior modification capacity to 787 owners and operators by designating Lufthansa Technik as a Boeing-Licensed Service Center. 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.

Operators, lessors, and other companies requiring 787 cabin modifications can now choose to work with Lufthansa Technik. As a BLSC, Lufthansa Technik will offer comprehensive services, including designing new cabin interiors, providing associated engineering, and performing integrations tailored to customer specifications. The company will also handle the certification of modification projects, leveraging its global network of facilities to execute these modifications on the popular long-haul widebody aircraft.

“This is a great endorsement from Boeing of Lufthansa Technik’s outstanding cabin modification services. Customers looking to modify the interior of their Dreamliner will be able to find the full range of services from us. 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,” said Harald Gloy, Chief Operating Officer at Lufthansa Technik.

The two companies will continue preparations to enable Lufthansa Technik to begin its first 787 cabin modification project in 2025. The BLSC will complement Boeing’s existing 787 Interior Modifications offerings by providing additional market capacity.

This agreement follows the completion of the first base maintenance event on a 787 Dreamliner at Lufthansa Technik Malta this April, further solidifying the collaboration between Boeing and Lufthansa Technik.
