LBAS expands Part 145 approval for Qatar registered aircraft

Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services GmbH (LBAS) has extended its portfolio of various approvals to include Qatar. This approval is a mandatory requirement to offer LBAS’ wide range of maintenance services to Bombardier Challenger 604/605 aircraft flying under Qatar registration. A first – undisclosed – customer from Qatar has already signed a maintenance agreement with LBAS and will use LBAS’ services when flying to Europe. LBAS, based at Berlin-Schoenefeld airport in Germany, was formed in 1997 as a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Technik Group and of the Bombardier Aerospace Group. LBAS specializes in the maintenance, repair and overhaul of Bombardier Learjet, Challenger and Global business jets.
