Boeing and Lufthansa Technik announced today at the Farnborough International Airshow an agreement to designate Lufthansa Technik as the first Boeing-licensed Service Center (BLSC) for cabin modifications on 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
As a BLSC, Lufthansa Technik says the company is licensed to perform interior modifications on the 787 as an external MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) service provider. The cabin modifications will be performed at one of Lufthansa Technik’s global network facilities, with operators, lessors and other companies with 787 cabin modification needs having the choice to work with Lufthansa Technik.
The company can design a new cabin interior, provide the associated engineering, perform the integration and will also cover certification of the modification projects.
Harald Gloy, Chief Operating Officer at Lufthansa Technik, said: “This is a great endorsement from Boeing of Lufthansa Technik’s outstanding cabin modification services. Customers looking to modify the interior of their Dreamliner will be able to find the full range of services from us. As Boeing’s licensed Service Center for cabin
modification of the 787, we are pleased to contribute our expertise in this area and to create additional capacity in the market as the world’s largest MRO provider.”
Doug Backhus, Vice President of Boeing Cabins, Modifications and Maintenance, said: “We are pleased to bring additional interior modification capacity to 787 owners and operators by designating Lufthansa Technik as the first Boeing Licensed Service Center. Through this novel collaboration, customers will benefit from Lufthansa Technik’s decades of MRO experience, and familiarity with the 787 platform.”
