LONDON – On 24 August, Lufthansa Technik Philippines unveiled its newly expanded hangar facility, which will complement the seven existing maintenance service lines with an additional three lines. The German group announced a 20 per cent increase in capacity, which will contribute greatly to the local economy, with employment for 275 additional staff. 

The parking spaces are set to increase the facility’s capabilities in serving more aircraft. Initially, the new hangar can be rejigged to provide room for four narrow-body aircraft, or one wide-body aircraft and two narrow-body aircraft. Moreover, Airbus’ largest aircraft, the Airbus A380, can also be served in the new facility.

The latest state-of-the-art facility carries 9,000 square meter worth of hangar space which was planned to be opened in September 2020, but was side-tracked until now due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
