Lufthansa Technik extends Boeing 737 MAX capabilities

Connectivity modification program starts in Budapest in mid-2018

From mid-2018, Lufthansa Technik AG will start connectivity
modifications on several Boeing 737 MAX aircraft of an undisclosed
airline customer at its overhaul facility Lufthansa Technik Budapest.

The five-day modification includes the installation of a broadband
antenna on the aircraft's external structure, together with cabling,
hardware and software installation in the aircraft cabin.

Following the modification program, full base maintenance capability
will be built up for Boeing 737 MAX at Lufthansa Technik Budapest in
the next months in a first step. Capability extension at further
locations of the Lufthansa Technik network will follow.

Lufthansa Technik already supports Boeing 737 MAX operators with
component services.
