When the new Boeing 737 MAX commences regular flight operations as planned next year,
Lufthansa Technik will be well prepared to provide technical support and ensure smooth
operations of the most recent member of the Boeing 737 family.
B
acked by its extensive expertise in
the introduction of new aircraft types,
Lufthansa Technik will provide a fullfeatured product portfolio for ensuring smooth
operations of the Boeing 737 MAX from the
very outset. This includes a broad range of
maintenance services for components,
from individual repair to loan and exchange
parts from regional spare parts warehouses
through to the most comprehensive and
integrated Total Support products.
Lufthansa Technik already offers an
extensive range of globally available products and services for operators of the various
Boeing 737 types. The spare parts warehouses for the Boeing 737 of the Classic
and current Next Generation versions,
which are established within easy reach of
the customer, are to be extended in the
process for the 737 MAX. For the operators
of the new medium-haul aircraft, this means
availability of material supply matching the
high quality standards of Lufthansa Technik
with fast response and turnaround times.
The Boeing 737 MAX will be powered
exclusively by CFM LEAP-1B engines,
whose maintenance – as with the current
CFM56 engines – will likewise be included
in the Lufthansa Technik portfolio.
When it comes to the Americas, which
represents the largest market for the Boeing
737, Lufthansa Technik offers services specially tailored to local customer requirements.
The company takes account of this market
with regional customer service teams, sales
offices and material pools at various locations
on the continent as well as a 24/7 hotline
for non-routine defects (Aircraft on Ground,
AOG), which is based in Southern Florida.
The MRO provider’s subsidiary Lufthansa
Technik Component Services (LTCS) in
Oklahoma is also well positioned in terms

of aircraft components thanks to its broadly
diversified service portfolio – in particular
this also includes testing, repair and overhaul of components. The new American
location for aircraft overhauls, Lufthansa
Technik Puerto Rico, which commenced
operation in November 2015, will also offer
overhaul services for Boeing 737 aircraft to
North and South American airlines from
2017 in addition to the Airbus A320 family.
With the introduction of the new aircraft,
Lufthansa Technik will guarantee smooth
operations from day one in its role as integrator. Lufthansa Technik has already been
able to demonstrate its accumulated experience and expertise in the introduction of
new aircraft types on many occasions, as
for example recently with the introduction of
the Airbus A350 in January 2015 as well as
the entry into service of the Airbus A320neo
with Lufthansa in January 2016.

Total Technical Support //
Lufthansa Technik has been
awarded a Total Technical Support (TTS®) contract for Surinam
Airways’ Airbus A340-300
based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The four-year contract
with the flag carrier of the
Republic of Suriname marks a
further success in Lufthansa
Technik’s efforts to strengthen
its market presence in the
Americas.
Lufthansa Technik will provide
maintenance services with
Amsterdam (AMS) based technical staff as well as integrated
component support (Total
Component Support, TCS®),
including spare parts pooling
through its local warehouse at
AMS. Lufthansa Technik will
perform all aircraft checks at its
facilities in Brussels, Belgium,
and Frankfurt, Germany. Furthermore, the contract covers
comprehensive engine support
(Total Engine Support, TES®)
including lease engine supply,
wheels and brakes services as
well as general engineering
services. //
Innovation and research //
Almost 1,000 invited guests celebrated the official opening of
the ZAL TechCenter, the world’s
most up-to-date civilian aviation
research facility, in the Hamburg
borough of Finkenwerder in
March. Amongst them were
Hamburg’s Governing Mayor,
Olaf Scholz; Germany’s Federal
Parliamentary State Secretary
for Aerospace Policy, Brigitte
Zypries; the Chairman of the
Executive Board of Airbus in
Germany, Dr. Klaus Richter; and
the Chairman of the Executive
Board of Lufthansa Technik,
Dr. Johannes Bussmann.
In the future, up to 600 people
will be working in the ZAL facility.
The research center is a joint
project of the City of Hamburg,
Airbus, Lufthansa Technik, the
German Aerospace Center
(DLR), four universities and
twelve other partners. //
APU services for
­Tigerair Taiwan
APS 3200 // ­Lufthansa Technik
has entered into a new agreement with Taiwan-based lowcost carrier Tigerair Taiwan.
According to the new contract,
the MRO provider is responsible
for providing maintenance
­services including LRU (Line
Replaceable Unit) services for
the Auxiliary Power Units (APU)
of Tigerair Taiwan’s growing
A320 fleet. The long-term contract covers APU maintenance
and component overhaul as well
as pooling supply of APU components via Lufthansa Technik’s
warehouse in Singapore.
Kwan Yue, Chief Executive Officer of Tigerair Taiwan, said: “As
we expand our fleet, our priority
is to ensure that our fleet is reliable and we are able to dispatch
our aircraft to the high standards
expected by our customers. We
are pleased with our partnership
with Lufthansa Technik. We are
confident that with this partnership, our fleet will be well
­supported as we continue to
grow our fleet and network.” //
Cyclean® // Lufthansa Technik
opened its first Australian
Cyclean® Engine Wash service
station in Melbourne, Australia.
The Cyclean® Engine Wash
facility at Melbourne Airport is
mounted in a vehicle so that it
can also be deployed at other
nearby airports. An engine wash
can be carried out as part of
maintenance work, in the transit
period between two flights or
overnight. The system does not
require external electricity or a
water source, giving customers
flexibility in the planning of
engine washes.
“We have already successfully
carried out the first Cyclean®
washes on the IAE V2500
engines of an Airbus A320. But,
essentially, we cater for all common engine models. We are
currently offering our services to
various Australian airline customers for demonstration purposes,”
explains Oliver C. Winter, Head
of Engine Life Cycle Services at
Lufthansa Technik.
In the future, Cyclean® Engine
Wash will also be offered to
international airlines that fly in to
Melbourne and have appropriate
layover times. The high demand
for efficient engine cleaning
means that the number of stations will keep growing. Over
the medium term, the service
network in Australia is to be
expanded with further stations
at the airports in Sydney, Perth,
and Brisbane. //

of VIP aircraft in certain specially equipped seats,” explains
Andreas Pfister, lead project
manager for the Original
Equipment Innovation division
at Lufthansa Technik. “Now
passengers can take the fascination of flying into their own
hands.” //

Lufthansa Technik Connection 3.2016
Prepared for the future
In 2015, the 21st year of its status as an independent company, Lufthansa Technik has
done well. The company was able to take advantage of the general market growth and could
cement its position as one of the worldwide leading providers of MRO services.
W
ith a sales revenue significantly
increased by 17.6 percent to
around 5.1 billion euros,
Lufthansa Technik performed well in 2015.
“We have stayed on our growth path and
positioned Lufthansa Technik even more
international and stronger within the regional
markets. Our customers have honored
these efforts,” said Lufthansa Technik CEO
Dr. Johannes Bussmann when presenting
the annual results for 2015 at the company’s
headquarter in Hamburg.
Dr. Johannes Bussmann,
CEO of Lufthansa Technik AG
A cornerstone of this positive development has been the huge investment in
innovation which Lufthansa Technik started
in 2014. For the time being, the company is
engaged in about 250 different innovation
projects to increase its competitiveness.
“But it is also very clear that we act in a
very challenging environment,” warns
Dr. Bussmann. “I don’t remember the last
time there was so much movement in the
aviation industry.” He continues, saying:
“New technologies and production methods
are making aircraft, components and engines
more reliable and less demanding in terms
of maintenance. Manufacturers are strengthening their efforts in the service market as
competitors. This is particularly apparent
when it comes to engines.” With the changing
MRO market, Lufthansa Technik’s business
model is changing too, on many levels. “We
have always embraced change,” says the
company’s CEO. “This is one of the reasons
why we became a world market leader in
our industry. Now we are setting our course
to make sure we remain in this position.”
Prepared for the future
Firstly, Lufthansa Technik must further
increase its efficiency. As quality standards,
MRO products and material costs in important segments are nearly the same around
the world, the crucial factor to compete
successfully is via production costs. For this
reason, Lufthansa Technik has gone to great
efforts, and continues to do so, to make
production and organization processes
more efficient. Cost-efficiency programs
were and remain the essential basis here.
Secondly, Lufthansa Technik will become
even more international. “Customers expect
more presence and services in their home
markets,” Dr. Bussmann underscores. In
addition to the foundation of Lufthansa
Technik Puerto Rico and the expansion of
Lufthansa Technik Philippines, the MRO
Group recently founded Lufthansa Technik
Middle East in Dubai to demonstrate an
increased presence in this growth region.
Dr. Bussmann also sees clear growth
perspectives for Lufthansa Technik Shenzhen in China and Lufthansa Technik Component Services in North America. Beyond
opening new facilities, Lufthansa Technik
is creating an international network with
­unified standards. Standardized, global IT
solutions for all Lufthansa Technik companies
enable the MRO provider to practice global
cooperation between production sites,
for example, in aircraft overhaul. Lufthansa
Technik Sofia produces job cards that are
used in the same way at all facilities and
Base Maintenance sites worldwide.
Innovations and new products
“The strengthening of our innovative power
is another key to success. Aircraft maintenance, overhaul and modification have for a
long time been a high-technology industry; it
must be at the same technological level as
the manufacturers are. And sometimes it has
to be even further advanced. That is why we
go to such great efforts – especially here in
Hamburg,” says Bussmann.

Cabin Modification & Completion
In autumn, the largest modification program
to date in the history of Lufthansa Technik
was brought to a successful ­conclusion – on
time and within budget. Lufthansa Technik
finished the installation of a new cabin
interior and in-flight entertainment system for
the long-haul fleet of Lufthansa German
Airlines. 80 aircraft were modified in
two-and-a-half years and almost 1.5 million
working hours. In the VIP hangars in
Hamburg a former VIP Airbus A310 from
the Special Air Mission Wing of the German
Air Force was converted for Novespace
into a zero-g research aircraft. In addition,
Lufthansa Technik re-delivered a VVIP
Boeing 747-8 to its owner after completion.
A second one followed in January 2016.
Airbus A350 XWB
Lufthansa Technik has taken a major step
in the support of what is currently the
world’s most modern aircraft, having
received EASA approval as a Maintenance
Organization for the Airbus A350. Approval as a Design Organization has also been
attained. Material supplies for Asian and
European customers are well advanced.
Lufthansa Technik entered into an agreement with Honeywell for the overhaul of
HGT1700 APUs for the Airbus A350.
New collaborative projects with OEMs
Lufthansa and GE Aviation have agreed to
establish a state-of-the-art facility for the
overhaul of the new GEnx-2B and GE9X
engine models. The joint venture is due to
commence operations in 2018.
Expansion of global network
Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico was
opened mid-2015 with two overhaul lines
in operation up to now. This was a major
step to improve Lufthansa Technik’s presence in the world’s largest MRO market.
Lufthansa Technik Philippines built up
additional hangar space for the overhaul of
the Airbus A380 and will extend its portfolio
to services for Boeing 777 aircraft.
New wheels and brakes shop
Investing almost 60 million euros, construction work began on a new wheels and brakes
shop in Frankfurt, Germany.
3,700 aircraft under contract
In 2015, the number of aircraft supported
by Lufthansa Technik under exclusive
agreements rose by 12 percent to around
3,700. What’s more, the overall number of
Lufthansa Technik customers rose to almost
800 worldwide. A particular focus was
on contracts to support new aircraft types:
A long-term component services contract
Highlights 2015
was signed with Finnair, the first European
operator of the new Airbus A350. The
same applies to the private Spanish airline
Air Europa Lineas Aéreas, which signed
a comprehensive long-term contract
for component services for the airline’s
growing Boeing 787 fleet.
Other agreements include contracts for
two cabin completions for Royal Jet,
engine maintenance services for Jetstar,
the extension of the partnership with the
low-cost carrier Wizz Air and Boeing 787
nacelle support for United. Lufthansa
Technik is also welcoming completely
new customers from around the world,
for example Frontier Airlines (USA),
Pobeda Airlines (RUS), Azul (Brazil) and
Jeju Air (Korea).

challenge for her is to coordinate all of the
sometimes very complex topics and processes at the same time. “Minor topics
can develop very quickly into major ones
even if it doesn’t look this way at the start,”
she explains. In this context setting the
right priorities is always demanding. “This
makes it all the more important that I delegate tasks substantially to my employees –
something that is admittedly sometimes
difficult.” The workload overall is very high,
“there always seems to be something to
do on top of everything else,” she says.
Complex topics and constant changes
Changes arise all the time to which the
processes have to be adapted, for example with internal reorganizations or new
strategies from Lufthansa Technik and the
Lufthansa Group. “The authorities also are
always coming up with something new in
their regulations,” says Dagmar Elten.
The changes are then assessed by her
and her team and incorporated accordingly if necessary in the Lufthansa Technik
processes. There are likewise changes
constantly in relation to the IT systems.
“We have to coordinate the processes
and IT so as to ensure everything lines up
properly in terms of time and content.”
Now and then she considers whether
she should dare to seek a new challenge.
“But then I look around me and realize that
there couldn’t be a more exciting job for
me than the one I am doing right now.”

From engineering to
quality management
// Dr. Dagmar Elten studied electrical engineering in Berlin and
received her doctorate. With an
interest in moving to Hamburg,
she applied to Lufthansa Technik,
where she joined the company
as an a
­ vionics system engineer
for the A310/A300-600. Back
then she was one of the few
women in engineering, in fact the
only one in the area of avionics.
Following a reorganization, a part
of the engineering department
was relocated to Frankfurt. Here,
Dagmar Elten coordinated the
avionics team for the Airbus
fleet. She then left ­Lufthansa and
moved to Deutsche BA in
Munich as Head of Engineering.
Some years later she returned to
Lufthansa Technik in Frankfurt
and took on the role of coordinating the engineering interface
between Lufthansa German
Airlines and Lufthansa Technik,
whose task was to ensure the
airworthiness of the Lufthansa
fleet in accordance with CAMO.
In mid-2001, she moved back to
Hamburg. Here she looks after
organizational approvals for the
Lufthansa Technik Design Organization. She and her team work
closely with the Design Engineering and the Office of Airworthiness, and she is directly reporting
to the head of Lufthansa Technik’s
Design Organization. //

cabin concepts, the question asked was
how the generation of “digital natives”
envisages the cabin of the future. To
answer this question, a cooperation project
was established with the “Transportation
Interior Design” study program at the
­University of Reutlingen. The students,
otherwise involved with the design of car
cockpits, have a fresh view of aviation.
They spent a semester looking at the topic
of the “aircraft cabin of the future” with the
objective to create a completely new inflight experience for passengers.
Under the direction of the Original
Equipment Innovation and Corporate
Innovation Management divisions, visions
of cabins were conceived stretching up to
the year 2030. Backed by virtual and
­augmented reality, intelligent materials, a
modern design language and other new
technologies and innovations, passengers
should be involved in events in a completely new way. The students were guided
here not only by technological trends, but
also by social developments. Product
ideas were thus conceived that can be
divided into five groups: personalization
and privacy, comfortable sleeping in
Economy Class, improved sense of space,
gaming on board and solutions for an
aging society.
Each of these topics was selected on
the basis of customer requirements. The
products are aimed at passengers who
want to enjoy their flight to the fullest and

Visions of cabins
Lufthansa Technik is pursuing ideas and
concepts not currently on the market in
this form. This includes a Business Class
seat that offers increased privacy despite
a reduced footprint (photos above and

they are usually deployed in automobile
manufacturing (photo bottom).
experience something new and out of the
ordinary. The technical design is implemented primarily from an emotional
­perspective. The prospective interior
designers therefore consistently followed
the holistic approach of combining the
­latest technology with the most modern
design. On-board toilets and control
­panels, multifunctional seating and cabin
layouts were developed, for example with
functional baggage compartments, or
multimedia wall coverings in modern color
and material mixes.
Improving the sense of comfort
The results should serve primarily as
inspiration for Lufthansa Technik’s new
research and development project. The
objective of the new products is to
improve the sense of comfort as well as
to positively change the passengers’
perception of space and self-awareness
during the flight in order to bring about
a paradigm shift in terms of comfort on
board and to make air travel as pleasant
as possible in the future. Moreover, attention is also being focused specifically on
how to involve industrial designers in early
phases of development in the future so
as to design products that customers can
relate to optimally.
An initial, quickly produced clay prototype (industrial plasticine), as typical in the
area of car manufacturing, or an illustrative outline could make it much easier to
obtain customer feedback in the aviation
sector also.

The possible – albeit highly unlikely – effects of a sudden loss in pressure on the structure
of a VIP cabin can be reduced significantly. Thanks to Lufthansa Technik’s patented and
­visually concealed technology any potentially serious damages arising as a result of large
­pressure differences between the different cabin areas is prevented.
A
t a typical flying altitude of 10,000
meters or more, the air pressure
and therefore the oxygen partial
pressure is only a fraction of the value on
the earth’s surface. Aircraft are therefore
fitted with a pressure cabin so that people
can fly at this altitude. Automated climate
and pressure regulating systems ensure
pleasant conditions in modern aircraft. With
a sudden drop in pressure – for example in
case of damage to the cabin wall – passengers are supplied with air via oxygen masks.
VIP cabins are different
In a VIP aircraft the conditions in the cabin
are quite different to those in normal passenger aircraft. As a VIP cabin generally
consists of a number of smaller compartments with low individual volume, a sudden loss of pressure causes significant
pressure differences between these com-
partments. Without a large number of flaps
which were installed in such cabins in the
past, walls, ceilings and floors would rupture,
causing severe consequential damage.
As it is rather difficult to integrate these
flaps into the cabin design, interior
designers are also none too pleased
about this solution. Lufthansa Technik
has therefore developed a solution to
counter the – albeit highly unlikely –
situation of a sudden drop in pressure in the cabin, which further increases safety and also no longer
detracts from the design.
The core of the invention is a visually concealed rupture wall installed
between the side wall of the aircraft
and the passenger compartment,
which opens out a pressure equalization chamber toward the crown volume. Damage to the side wall of the
aircraft generally also leads to
Rupture wall
damage to the rupture wall, thus forming a
connection between the passenger compartment and the crown volume. This connection between the passenger compartment and the crown volume considerably
reduces the differential pressure affecting
the walls and floor of the passenger compartment and even allows differential
pressure affecting the ceiling of the passenger compartment to be avoided,
thereby considerably increasing safety in
the event of sudden decompression.
Because the passenger compartment is
secluded visually with respect to the
side wall of the aircraft via the rupture
wall, the interior usage and design concept of the passenger compartment is
not adversely affected in any way.
Numerous national and international
patents have already been applied for,
and in some cases granted, both with
respect to the rupture wall and also for

escape from the contaminated area and
the patient can continue to receive intensive
medical care. Another example of the
expertise of Lufthansa Technik in this area
is the conversion of an Airbus A310 to a
parabolic aircraft for the French company
Novespace. As safety also had to be guaranteed in this case for the test personnel
on board during a sudden decompression,
flow surfaces were integrated in the ceiling
and walls of the test chamber.

60 years of training
Nowhere else in Lufthansa Technik were and are values shaped so profoundly as by the trainers
at Lufthansa Technical Training. Since the first apprentices commenced their vocational training
in the company in Hamburg on April 1, 1956, more than 9,000 young people have embarked on
their new careers at Lufthansa Technik.
L
ufthansa Technik celebrated an
unusual anniversary at the start of
April. 60 years ago on April 1, 1956,
the company took its first steps in vocational training in Hamburg. From modest
beginnings, Lufthansa Technical Training
has grown in its training role to become an
independent company in the Lufthansa
Technik Group in 1995.
Even though the boundary conditions
were somewhat restricted initially, the
goals set back then were already ambitious. Nowhere else in Lufthansa Technik
were and are values shaped so profoundly
as by the trainers at Lufthansa Technical
Training. Cultivating a good Lufthansa
spirit is one of the most important foundations for a future career. This spirit combined with rigorous specialist training must
act as the guarantee of social skills and
professional qualities. Precision, specialist
expertise, reliability and awareness of
responsibility combined with pride in one’s
own work in the team – these principles
remain unchanged some 60 years on.
Supporting pillars
“Young people never undergo such
change again in their lives as they do
during their time in vocational training,”
says trainer Stefan Ehlers knowingly.
The 55-year-old aircraft builder moved
to Lufthansa Technik in 1985 following
an apprenticeship with MBB (now Airbus).
After 15 years on the job in the area of
overhaul he switched to training at the turn
of the millennium. In his role as a tutor here
he currently supervises 30 apprentices
specializing in manufacturing technology.
These are the people who will safeguard
the future of Lufthansa Technik, including
its values, in the coming years.
Former trainees of the technical training
can be found today in virtually all areas of
the company. Thanks to their know-how
and experience, these colleagues are a
supporting pillar for the development and
success of the company.
Safeguarding the future
9,000 apprentices and trainees have
already passed through the top training
courses under the wings of Lufthansa,
with a large part of the training being performed in the product divisions of Lufthansa
Technik. While scarcely any of them may
still remember the name of the first Technik
boss at Lufthansa, Professor Gerhard
Hoeltje, his timeless values remain the
bedrock of safe and efficient flight operations for everyone at Lufthansa Technik –
a good foundation for the future.

­discussions on issues of current interest.
I
n early March, airlines and leasing companies
from North America took up Lufthansa Technik’s
invitation to attend the Americas Conference
2016 in Miami Beach, Florida. Various speakers
gave presentations on developments at Lufthansa
Technik and provided information on new products
through workshops and a marketplace. “Having
the opportunity to showcase our wide range of
services, as well as sharing our innovative ideas,
was highly received by customers,” said Frank
Berweger, Senior Vice President Corporate Sales
Americas.
To begin the conference, Mr. Berweger provided
an overview of the offers from Lufthansa Technik
for the American aviation market. He then went on
to detail Lufthansa Technik’s expansion of component services in the region and the new facility in
Puerto Rico. “We are growing our MRO capabilities
in the Americas to better serve our customers,”
stressed Mr. Berweger.
As the conference progressed, Lufthansa Technik
introduced products and services tailored specifically to the needs of regional customers. In-depth
discussion amongst the participants was sparked
by topics such as “Mobile Engine Services, onwing and on-site” from guest speaker Dimitrios
Ladas, Manager Maintenance Planning from Air
Canada, and “Smart Engine Solutions for Lessors”.
“The enthusiasm from participating airlines and
leasing companies was amazing,” said Frank
Berweger. Other focal points of the event included
technological innovations at Lufthansa Technik
and services for new aircraft types. The conference
attendees were able to explore these topics by
­visiting a number of different booths within the
conference’s exhibition area.
Customer feedback on the Lufthansa Technik
Americas Conference 2016 was overwhelmingly
positive: “Venue and content excellent” and
“excellently planned and highly illustrative” were
just some of the comments of the attendees. Sufficient room for personal exchanges was a welcome
opportunity for customers, as stressed by one
attendee: “Job well-done. Well organized and
­tastefully executed. The interesting content and the

Enabling more people to travel
Lufthansa Technik supports the growth of the Mexican ultra low-cost carrier Volaris with
comprehensive component supply that is perfectly tuned to this successful airline’s special needs.
V
olaris recently celebrated a special
anniversary: In just one decade,
this ultra low-cost carrier has developed into Mexico’s second largest airline.
Its success rests on a special concept:
The Volaris route network includes flights
that link more than 60 destinations in Mexico, Central America and the U.S., focusing on cities where many Mexicans and
Hispanics live. To ensure that flying is a
serious alternative to train or bus travel for
this customer group, the airline keeps its
ticket prices as low as possible – in keeping with the company’s philosophy.
“With the best team and our low-cost
and clean fares we enable people to travel
more and more,” says José Luis Suárez,
Chief Operating Officer of Volaris. As part
of their tenth anniversary, Volaris celebrated
with its most valuable element, the customers. With the launching of new routes
in Mexico and the USA, a skytyping acitivity
on the Los Angeles horizon and really
impressive discounts, among other
actions, the company reassured its clients of
its commitment to them: offering more connectivity options while keeping low costs
and a great service.
Carefree component support

is responsible for repairing and overhauling
components for the entire Volaris fleet as
well as for pooling and engineering support.
The company also manages component
stocking at Volaris’ home base. Lufthansa
Technik thus ensures reliable, optimal material supply and frees up valuable time that
the airline can use to concentrate on its
flight operations.
In addition, Lufthansa Technik plays a
decisive role in organizing on-site logistics:
Two Lufthansa Technik representatives
monitor component movements every day
together with their counterparts at Volaris,
taking receipt of removed components and
sending them to the Lufthansa Technik
workshops in Hamburg or Tulsa for repair or
overhaul. This process relieves Volaris of
additional work, helps avoid delays in the
return of components, and thus also prevents
bottlenecks in supply to the fleet.
Close cooperation
“We have had good contacts to Volaris
since the airline began flight operations,”
says Walter Mueller, Regional Sales Manager
Latin America and Caribbean at Lufthansa
Technik. “But it wasn’t until the beginning of
2012 that we had the opportunity to support
the airline on a larger scale. With our complete package of services from a single
source and the good contacts we already
had, we were able to convince Volaris that
we are the right partner for the airline’s component supply.”
Since then, the local Lufthansa Technik
representatives are in daily contact with the

“Efficient operation and
partnering with experts”
Connection talked to Enrique Beltranena, Chief
­Executive Officer of Volaris, about the ­airline’s
growth and the support by Lufthansa Technik.
Volaris recently celebrated its
tenth anniversary. How have you
experienced the airline’s
development over this decade?
Enrique Beltranena: It has been a
very exciting decade. Our business model broke traditional concepts and gave our customers an
unbundled fare. They have the
power to decide what services
they need and never have to pay
for something they do not want.
For this model to be successful,
Volaris needs to keep its costs
low, ultra-low. We do this by having an efficient operation and partnering with experts like Lufthansa
Technik.
What special technical
support r­ equirements does
your airline have?
We require a partner that can
source components on site at the
right time and at low costs. These
components need to comply with
international regulations and best
practices, reliability, documents
and traceability.
What are the special
objectives of ­Volaris’ flight
operations today?
Our company success is based
on three important pillars: safety,
customer service and sustained
profitability. Thus, every aspect of
our operation is closely related to
one or more of them. We focus on
our costs and the efficient use of
our assets, which results in having
the lowest cost per available seat
mile (CASM) in the Americas. We
closely monitor our on-time performance, which allows our resources
to be well coordinated and our
customers to be happy as they
arrive on time. We use technology
to automate as many processes as
possible and make the customer
experience fast and easy.
What are your experiences
with component supply from
Lufthansa Technik?
Lufthansa Technik has proven to
be able to deliver on their service
levels for normal maintenance and
AOGs. This helps us keep the
planes on service without delays.
Since the beginning, it has been a
relationship where we, both, have
been growing, always looking
ahead and facing challenges
together. We expect to continue
with a close dialog that helps both
parties to develop a relationship
that adapts to the ever changing
market conditions. We believe that
we can continue to foster this partnership and maintain a commercial
relationship based on continuous
improvement.
What were the main reasons for
­contracting Lufthansa Technik?
Lufthansa Technik is a partner that
has the experience, coverage,
inventory and technical expertise
that Volaris requires and can deliver at the right cost for us.

important customer for Lufthansa Technik
in Latin America and a figurehead for our
integrated component supply,” emphasizes
Joerg Femerling, Vice President Corporate
Sales Latin America and Caribbean at
Lufthansa Technik. From the very beginning, Lufthansa Technik met Volaris’ special requirements and supported the airline’s growth plans. “Before we took over
component supply, Volaris had a lot of
components in its warehouse. We used
our experience to identify remaining parts
and took over the surplus. Then we set up
a pooling concept that enabled Volaris to
reduce its total warehouse inventory and
thus its costs for material supply,” explains
Walter Mueller. In the process, support
from Lufthansa Technik is tied to a service level guarantee. “Our concept is
reliable, uses less material, and allows
us to support the ­airline’s growth plans
optimally.”
Growth – with a concept
In 2012, Volaris had around 40 aircraft
from the A320 family – a figure that is
expected to rise to 68 aircraft by the
end of 2016. At the same time, it is
expected that Volaris expands its flight
operations into Central and South
America using the same approach of

Farewell to “Mr. GuideU”
GuideU, the non-electric floor path marking system from Lufthansa
Technik, has long played a big role in Hans-Christian Lierow’s
professional life. Now that he’s retiring, “Mr. GuideU”,
as his colleagues often call him, has handed the
reins to his successor, Torben Biehl.
“C
ustomers notice when you present a product that you yourself
stand behind,” says Lierow, looking back at his tenure as the person responsible for sales of GuideU, the non-electric
floor path marking system. For nearly twenty
years, Lierow supported and drove forward
the development of the system, and its current success is in part proof of his dedication.
Hans-Christian Lierow spent nearly his
entire professional life at Lufthansa. After
qualifying as an airframe mechanic, he
studied aeronautical engineering in
Hamburg. Initially he worked for eighteen
months on the Airbus seat specification,
but in 1986 he returned to Lufthansa in
Hamburg, where he was responsible for
the design and procurement of tooling and
operating resources in Engine Services.
Four years later, he moved on to technical
customer service. In 1998, Lierow became
a team leader in Mechanical Components
and Flight Controls.
Lierow took over the management of
Guideline in 2004. He believed in the
potential of the product and continued to
develop it. Guideline ColourFit, which was
launched on the market in 2005, was only
half as thick as its forerunner, narrower, lighter and available in colors. It became a sales
hit, winning the Crystal Cabin Award 2011.
But Lierow and his team did not put their feet
up; instead, they continued to develop the
system. The renamed GuideU 1000 series
was a lot lighter than its predecessor and
reduced the part numbers to just two. And
with the ColourCurve option, the photoluminescent strips can be offered in any shape.
Recently, another option was added: Custom-
Goodbye at Aircraft Interiors Expo: Hans-Christian
Lierow with his successor Torben Biehl.
Fit integrates the structural design of the
chosen carpet into the surface of the photoluminescent strip, making the strip virtually
disappear under standard lighting conditions.
Always focussing and creative solutions
For Hans-Christian Lierow, customer desires
and creative solutions are the focal points
of his work: “It’s particularly important to listen to what customers say and what they’re
asking for,” he comments. Now on the verge
of retirement, he can look back on GuideU
as a success. “On more and more flights,
the flight attendants point to ‘my’ system
and tell the passengers that the light strips
will guide them to the exit in an emergency.
That in itself is a wonderful thought,” he says.
Recently, Hans-Christian Lierow and his team
celebrated GuideU’s twentieth birthday.
Now “Mr. GuideU” has handed the reins to
­Torben Biehl, who will go on developing the
system and take it to new success.

Design standards and technologies for the cabin often change faster than aircraft
generations change. Showcased at the upcoming European Business Aviation
Convention & Exhibition (EBACE 2016) in Geneva, Lufthansa Technik is offering
a portfolio of innovative cabin products and services to individually upgrade VIP,

Falcon Master // Passion, attention to detail and determination:
With those same qualities that
make a great falconer, Lufthansa
Technik has created the Falcon
Master. The patented bird stand
enables VIPs to bring their ­falcons
on board while keeping them
nearby in the cabin during flight.
The Falcon Master is an innovative solution for the safe and
hassle-free transport of falcons in
an aircraft cabin environment. It
provides the birds with a secure
perch during all phases of flight,
ensuring maximum hygiene in
addition to protecting seats, wall
panels and carpets from possible
damage. The large tray at the
base of the device has a removable rubber mat for easy cleaning
or replacement. The transparent
walls prevent the soiling of the
surrounding cabin. If desired,
accessories such as a bird feeder
and cleaning material are also
available.
The Falcon Master is an easyto-install kit. It can be fixed above
folded seats on standard seat
tracks. As the legs are adjustable
in height, width and depth, the
Falcon Master fits the seat tracks
used in Boeing, Airbus and other
aircraft. When not in use, the platform can be quickly disassembled
in three parts and stowed in lightweight containers which can be
transported like a trolley. //

The US industry magazine “Air Transport World” acknowledges the pioneering role and ­commitment
to promoting greater use of electric vehicles on the ground. The “Eco-company partnership of the
year” award was conferred at the 42nd Annual Airline Industry Achievement Awards in Singapore.
L
ufthansa Group and airport operator
Fraport in Frankfurt are working
hand-in-hand on the initiative E-PORT
AN in order to introduce more electric
vehicles into the aircraft handling process,
thereby making these processes less
harmful to the environment. The renowned
US aviation industry magazine Air Transport World (ATW) has now acknowledged
this commitment with the “Eco-company
partnership of the year” award. “Lufthansa
Group and Fraport demonstrate how
working together can be a win-win for both
companies as well as for the environment.
I sincerely congratulate them for this initiative and their achievements,” said ATW’s
Editor-in-Chief Karen Walker.
Aircraft handling can involve up to 20
different vehicles. The step-by-step replacement of individual handling processes by
electrically-driven platforms does not just
reduce the carbon footprint, but also leads
to improved working conditions on the
ground. There are currently three hybrid
aircraft tugs – known as TaxiBots – at
Lufthansa LEOS, the ground support
equipment specialist and 100-percent
subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik.
TaxiBot
Aircraft move around on the ground more
than one would think, often taxiing many
kilometers to their take-off positions. They
do so with the help of their own engines,
releasing considerable amounts of CO2.
That is why Lufthansa LEOS worked with
manufacturer Israel Aerospace Industries
(IAI) to develop a hybrid-powered tug, the
TaxiBot, which can tow the Boeing 737
­ ircraft deployed here, using the power of
a
its electric motors to move aircraft to the
runway.
Pilots can use “Pilot Control Mode” to
taxi their planes to the runway in line with
the regulations without having to use the
jet engines. At a position close to the runway the TaxiBot is disconnected and its
driver can drive it in “Driver Control Mode”
to the next mission. This reduces kerosene
consumption and CO2 emissions. Another
bonus: TaxiBot makes working on the
apron much quieter.
In addition, Lufthansa LEOS is finalizing
certification tests on an eTug, the first vehicle in the world being able to maneuver
aircraft up to the size of an Airbus A380
entirely under electrical power. In doing so,
its hybrid engine is significantly more ecofriendly than conventional diesel-powered
tugs. CO2 emissions are reduced by over
70 percent. At the same time, energy costs
are expected to be cut by over 60 percent
while maintenance costs should be halved.
The electric trend
Electric vehicles are especially suited for
use at airports, where the majority of trips
are short. Around ten percent of Fraport’s
3,000+ motorized vehicles are electricallypowered. This includes vehicles used in
aircraft handling such as conveyor belt
vehicles, pallet loaders and small baggage
tractors for example. Moreover, electric
cars and minibuses are not just used by
ground crews – they also find use in
employees’ carpools.

Side-by-Side Teardown
www.lufthansatechnik.com/lifecycle-services
The European Business Aviation
Convention & Exhibition is the annual
meeting place for the European business
aviation community, bringing together
business leaders and all manner of
people involved in nearly every aspect
of business aviation.
June 1 – 4, 2016 | Berlin
The illustration shows how the Side-by-Side Teardown of two
unserviceable engines allows to build up one serviceable engine.
Cost-efficiency for phase-out
With its Side-by-Side Teardown concept, Lufthansa Technik
offers a new and very cost-efficient overhaul process developed
for mature engines during their remaining time of operation.
T
he operational period prior to the
phase-out of an engine brings
new challenges and new opportunities. As part of its smart.life product for
engine phase-out optimization, Lufthansa
Technik has developed the Side-by-Side
Teardown concept. Covering the complete spectrum from single shop events
to entire fleet programs, the solution precisely meets the customers’ technical
and commercial needs in this period. In
conjunction with a reduction of an aircraft
fleet size, the new concept is a superior
tool for reducing the costs associated
with shop visits.
Instead of selling or scrapping them,
Lufthansa Technik will tear down engines
destined for phase-out. Parts are carefully
analyzed and evaluated, differentiating
between serviceable parts, repairable
parts and scrap. The repairable and
­serviceable parts are then utilized for
ongoing or following shop visits by the
respective customers, drastically reducing their costs for material replacement.
The principle of smart workscoping is
Lufthansa Technik’s adaptive approach

The Berlin Air Show ILA is an international
aerospace trade show and pan-European

to engine overhaul. Depending on the customers’ technical and financial limitations,
the residual requirements of each engine
are determined and the overhaul work­
scopes tailored accordingly. Workscoping
takes into account the usable parts of the
teardown engines. Due to the risk reduction arising from selling an engine below
value, a substantial benefit is achievable
from the donor engine. At the same time
the cost of shop visits of other engines is
reduced. In addition, the MRO-related
operating costs can be reduced significantly. The smart.life product itself offers a
wide range of solutions for optimizing an
engine’s life. From birth until teardown/
disassembly, a multitude of tools ensures
that reliability and cost efficiency are
smoothly maintained at the highest level.
Using this advanced product, operators
receive a truly dependable engine service
built on the competence of an experienced
airline shop.
