Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services opens another hangar in Schoenefeld

Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services GmbH (LBAS) has today opened
an additional hangar at its home base in Berlin-Schoenefeld. With
this step the leading specialist in the maintenance, repair and
overhaul of Bombardier business jets is creating the basis for
successful further development of the company. At the same time that
hangar capacity is being increased, the size of the workforce is also
growing. Thus twelve new jobs have been created since the start of
the year, ten of them mechanics. This brings the number of staff
currently employed at LBAS up to 183.

Following the renovation and comprehensive modernization of a hangar
taken over from Lufthansa Technik, the additional capacity now
available means that the MRO provider can handle one aircraft in the
Bombardier Global series and four aircraft up to the size of a
Challenger 850. The hangar has been expanded to include a battery
shop and a wheel reconditioning workshop along with offices and
recreation rooms.

Commenting on the facility upgrade, Christoph Meyerrose, Managing
Director of LBAS, said: “LBAS has done extremely well over the last
few years, something that our customers and staff can rightly be
proud of. With the expansion of our hangar capacity we are now
setting the next milestone. The extra space will enable us to serve
our customers even better and continue our positive development in
the future.”
