also strengthen our presence in the Maltese community and create new
opportunities for current and future employees."

had within our base maintenance network over the past two decades,
our investment in enhancing capabilities with a dedicated overhaul
line for Boeing 787 aircraft will further solidify the company's
standing as center of excellence for modern widebody aircraft. This
development will allow us greater flexibility in meeting our
customers' needs, leveraging LTM's remarkable efficiency and
reliability," added Alexander Feuersaenger, Vice President & COO
