First 787 VIP cabin completion for Lufthansa Technik
Lufthansa Technik has received an order for a VIP cabin cabin
completion for a Boeing 787-8. The contract of an undisclosed
customer is the first completion for this aircraft type for Lufthansa
Technik. The project is scheduled to start in 2018.
Tailored to the customer's specific requirements the aircraft will
receive an elegant VIP design. The private section includes a
representative office area, a bathroom and a bedroom. The following
section combines a dining and conference area. In the rear sector of
the aircraft, a delegation seating in different classes will be
integrated.
"With the conclusion of this completion contract, we are closing the
final gap in our expertise for the Boeing 787," said Wieland Timm,
Senior Director Sales, VIP & Special Mission Aircraft at Lufthansa
Technik. "Our existing experience for this type of aircraft in the
fields of modification, maintenance, repair and overhaul is a
valuable basis for the equipment of this special VIP aircraft."
To date, Lufthansa Technik has provided technical services to more
than 100 Boeing 787 from various commercial and VIP 787 operators.
The portfolio also includes engineering services and spare parts
supply.
