Lufthansa Technik AG is prepared for the technical services on A350 XWB for both, commercial and VIP customers. The company is already holding the approval of the European airworthiness authority EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) as Maintenance Organization for the new aircraft type (Part 145 approval) and is supporting different airlines with MRO services for the A350 XWB.

Lufthansa Technik has been significantly contributing to the development and design of the A350 XWB over the past years. The company's engineers participated in Airbus A350 Customer Focus Groups and supported the manufacturer with respect to maintainability and maturation.

About 270 square meters of cabin space offer a large variety of possibility's to fulfill also the most exclusive customer wishes. Lufthansa Technik's Creative Design department is currently developing ideas for an exclusive interior concept.

The A350 XWB is a new chapter in Lufthansa Technik's long history of providing cabin interiors for the newest, most modern widebody VIP aircraft types: the first Airbus A340 in 1994; the first Boeing 777 in 2000; the first Airbus A330-200 in 2008; the first Boeing 767-400 in 2013, the first Boeing 747-8 this year.
