Lux-Airport and Luxair has marked a significant moment in its collaborative journey with the unveiling of the new Luxair aircraft maintenance hangar. The official ceremony was graced by the presence of Mrs. Yuriko Backes, Minister of Defence, Mobility, Public Works, Gender Equality, and Diversity, alongside Mrs. Jacqueline Breuer, Mayor of Sandweiler.
This new structure, spanning 110 metres by 100, stands at a height of 22 metres and covers an area of around 5,000 m². It is designed to simultaneously house up to three Boeing 737s, offering optimal space for the maintenance of Luxair’s forthcoming aircraft. Apart from being environmentally sustainable, the Luxair maintenance hangar also incorporates multiple maintenance workshops, spare parts storage facilities, and administrative offices.
“The aviation field is experiencing constant growth in our country, which requires infrastructure, services and maintenance facilities adapted to meet the needs of its customers. In order to remain at the forefront of modern aviation and succeed on the international scene, the construction of this new maintenance hangar was essential for our national airline, Luxair, to guarantee the reliability of its operations. This new hall perfectly illustrates the dynamism of the aviation sector, aiming to make the airport a strategic, modern and exemplary infrastructure for this domain.“ announced Mrs. Yuriko Backes, Minister of Defence, Mobility and Public Works and Gender Equality and Diversity.
