Effective immediately, Lufthansa Technik AG can offer customers from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) airworthiness services for the Boeing 747-400 and 747-8 aircraft types as a CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation). Lufthansa Technik received the relevant approval from UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) for its Hamburg location on July 1, 2012.
The background to this step is a change in the legal framework for aircraft owners whose aircraft are registered in the UAE: now, both commercial and non-commercial operators, like private aircraft owners, are obligated to have their own CAMOs or to commission a CAMO such as Lufthansa Technik. For this reason, Lufthansa Technik applied to the GCAA for approval as a CAMO before the legal change took effect, and supplied all the necessary documentation and evidence for this step. Provisional approval was granted on the basis of the Part M approval already issued to Lufthansa Technik by the German Federal Aviation Office; in order to grant final approval, the GCAA will conduct an audit in Hamburg sometime during the next few months as soon as CAMO tasks are performed for the first UAE customer.
