A Repeat Order From A Mideast Head Of State

Completion of a 747-400 cabin interior. Another acknowledgement of LHT`s market leadership
A Mideast head of state and long-time customer of Lufthansa Technik AG (LHT) has signed a contract for retrofitting a Boeing 747-400 with a VIP cabin interior, including state-of-the-art entertainment and communication systems. The work will begin next month at LHT`s VIP cabin-interior center in Hamburg.
“This order is one more acknowledgement of LHT`s special competence and capabilities in the areas of interior design, production, installation and certification of business jets up to and including those operated by heads of state”, said Jürgen Wilken, LHT Senior Vice President Marketing and Sales. “A prime consideration that influenced our customer`s decision is the high quality of LHT`s products and workmanship and its outstanding record of meeting deadlines”.
Lufthansa Technik will deliver the modified aircraft in early 2002. The customer is also negotiating with LHT a multi-year contract for its complete technical servicing of the aircraft under its Total Technical Support (TTS) program. LHT has been servicing this customer`s VIP jets for the past 20 years.


Lufthansa Technik has been one of the leading customizers of VIP aircraft for decades. Its experience in this domain ranges from the Airbus A300 to the Boeing 747-400 and Boeing 777. Hallmarks of its work are a uniqueness of style combined with notable ease of maintenance. LHT services numerous VIP aircraft from all over the world under Total Technical Support (TTS) contracts.
