Lufthansa Technik will become a Boeing-Licensed Service Center (BLSC) for cabin modifications to the 787 Dreamliner in its capacity as an external MRO service provider, the German company said Monday at the Farnborough Airshow. Lufthansa operates a global network of facilities and recently completed base maintenance work on a 787 at its Malta site.
“This is a great endorsement from Boeing of Lufthansa Technik’s outstanding cabin modification services,” said Lufthansa Technik chief operating officer Harald Gloy. “Customers looking to modify the interior of their Dreamliner will be able to find the full range of services from us.”
The company can design new interiors, provide engineering, and perform integration to customer requirements. As a BLSC it can also cover certification. The agreement complements Boeing’s own interior modification capabilities, and also expands customer choice and the options on offer. Lufthansa Technik expects to complete the first 787 cabin modifications next year.
