Lufthansa Technik delivers first of three VVIP Boeing 747-8 aircraft

Following a completion period that lasted more than two years, Lufthansa Technik’s Completion Center in Hamburg has returned the first of three Boeing 747-8s currently being converted by the company back to an undisclosed customer. This project was one of the most complex undertaken by Lufthansa Technik in its long history of completions owing to a cabin size of some 440 square meters and the wide ranging requirements on the part of the customer in terms of equipment and quality. “The completion of this 747-8 allowed us to demonstrate all of our skills and competencies,” commented Walter Heerdt, who heads the VIP & Executive Jet Solutions division. “It is the most extraordinary aircraft that we have completed to date, featuring an unprecedented high level of elegance. It is only thanks to the many years’ experience, professionalism and passion of our employees that we are able to deliver such unique products to our customers.”
