Lufthansa Technik finalizes work on two VIP completion projects

In the next weeks Lufthansa Technik will finalize its cabin
installation work on two VIP completion projects from undisclosed
customers in its Hamburg hangars. The first one, a BBJ 2, will be
delivered back to the customer in December 2013. The second one, a
Boeing 767-400FSER, is planned to be handed over to its owner at the
beginning of 2014.

The ultra-modern cabin design for the BBJ 2 was created by a renowned
international design bureau in London. The interior contains several
innovation highlights, like a steam shower, an open cooking
opportunity, an air humidification system and lower cabin altitude.
Additionally, the aircraft is equipped with Lufthansa Technik’s
state-of-the-art niceĀ® inflight entertainment & cabin management
system, including GSM connectivity and live-TV. The niceĀ® system can
be completely controlled via personal devices like the iPad or
iPhone. To achieve a real cinema feeling, the BBJ 2 is the first B737
equipped with a 65 inch HD monitor on board.

The second project, which is expected to be finalized soon is a very
rare type of the B767, the B767-400FSER. The completion of this type
of aircraft is a new and special experience also for the skilled VIP
specialists of Lufthansa Technik. The cabin design for this aircraft
was created by Lufthansa Technik’s own VIP interior design
department.

Cabin highlights of this project are the full VIP interior, a
separate VVIP private area plus a full size lounge area and a
dedicated entourage area. The aircraft is provided with finest
surface materials and seat covers. It is also equipped with highly
customized VIP galleys.

The B767 has a state-of the-art full audio-video-on-demand (AVOD) IFE
system with Live-TV and iPad integration on board. The communication
system includes Satcom, high-speed internet and WLAN. As a special
equipment Lufthansa Technik installed a therapeutic oxygen system and
a high-end water system.

Currently, Lufthansa Technik is also working on two B747-8 in
Hamburg.
