Lufthansa Technik opens third US location for Aircraft Production Inspection

Lufthansa Technik AG enlarges its product portfolio and announced the
opening of the third US location after Everett and Renton for
Aircraft Production Inspection of Boeing aircraft at North
Charleston/South Carolina. The first Boeing 787s have already been
successfully supported and the Lufthansa Technik inspectors are
permanently on-site.

“The inauguration of our third US-base for Aircraft Production
Inspection is completing our vision of omnipresence and seamless
service for our customers. We are now offering production inspection
at all Boeing sites and for all Boeing aircraft types currently in
production. The Dreamliner is of significant importance for this
business, as it sets a milestone in new aircraft technology and
customer expectations”, says Marcus Motschenbacher, Director Network
Sales & Customer Service at Lufthansa Technik.

Marketed under the name of Aircraft Production Inspection Program
(APIP), Lufthansa Technik is offering this independent production
inspection to both airlines and leasing companies. Lufthansa Technik
experience and know-how from looking after customer fleets worldwide
on a day-to-day basis mean it receives continuous feedback in the
areas of technical quality and operational flexibility. This
operational expertise is reflected in all product areas of the
Aircraft Production Inspection Program. APIP inspectors are stationed
permanently at all major Boeing final assembly sites and also at
other manufacturers.
