Boeing has signed an agreement with Lufthansa Technik, designating it as a Boeing Licensed Service Center (BLSC) for cabin modifications on 787 Dreamliner aircraft. This agreement aims to provide more options and capacity in the market, thereby expanding Lufthansa Technik’s MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) services.
Doug Backhus, Boeing’s Vice President of Interiors, Modifications, and Maintenance, stated, “We are pleased to provide 787 owners and operators with additional interior modification capacity by designating Lufthansa Technik as a Boeing Licensed Service Center. Through this new collaboration, customers will benefit from Lufthansa Technik’s MRO experience and familiarity with the 787 platform.”
This collaboration allows operators, lessors, and other companies with 787 cabin modification needs to work with Lufthansa Technik. As a BLSC, Lufthansa Technik will be licensed to perform interior modifications on the 787 as an external MRO service provider. This includes designing new cabin interiors, providing related engineering services, and integrating these modifications according to customer requirements. With the license from Boeing, Lufthansa Technik will also handle the certification of modification projects.
Harald Gloy, Lufthansa Technik’s Chief Operating Officer, remarked, “Boeing’s endorsement of Lufthansa Technik’s exceptional cabin modification services is a significant support. Customers looking to modify the interiors of their Dreamliners will receive comprehensive services from us. As a licensed Service Center for 787 cabin modifications, we are pleased to offer our expertise and create additional capacity in the market as the world’s largest MRO provider.”
Lufthansa Technik is preparing to commence its first 787 cabin modification project in 2025. The BLSC will complement Boeing’s existing 787 Interior Modifications offerings with additional market capacity. This agreement follows the completion of the first base maintenance event for a 787 Dreamliner at Lufthansa Technik Malta in April.
This partnership represents a significant step for both Boeing and Lufthansa Technik, enabling them to serve a broader customer base. Modifications carried out at Lufthansa Technik’s global facilities aim to enhance passenger satisfaction and operational efficiency, allowing for quicker and more effective responses to customer demands.
