N3 Engine Overhaul Services (N3), the joint enterprise of Lufthansa Technik AG and Rolls-Royce plc. for servicing and repairing large aircraft engines, will begin overhauling the latest Rolls-Royce engine, the Trent XWB, which powers the Airbus A350 XWB, from autumn 2016. Parent companies Lufthansa Technik and Rolls-Royce reached this agreement based on Deutsche Lufthansa AG’s autumn 2013 decision to order 25 Airbus A350-900 aircraft. Deutsche Lufthansa is expected to take its first A350 into service in the second half of 2016 and will allow Lufthansa Technik to take care of its entire A350 fleet in all aspects of aircraft maintenance and spare part supply. In this extensive servicing concept, N3 Engine Overhaul Services is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines. N3 thus is expanding its product portfolio with a fourth Trent engine type. Now employing a staff of over 600, N3 currently overhauls around 100 civil large aero engines per year from the Rolls-Royce Trent 500, Trent 700 and Trent 900 series.
