Lufthansa, Bombardier Team Up
on Bizjet MRO
Lufthansa Technik AG and Bombardier Aerospace have launched a
joint venture named Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Service Center
to provide MRO services for Bombardier Learjet, Challenger and
Global Express business jets. Based at Berlin-Schonefeld Airport,
LBAS will cover a broad territory encompassing Europe, the Middle
East, Africa and the CIS states of the former Soviet Union. It
has 70 employees and currently counts 60 clients with a combined
fleet of some 250 aircraft.
In addition to the Bombardier business jets, LBAS holds JAA approval
to service the Canadair CRJ100/200 and Special Edition, along
with the Raytheon King Air 200/300 and 1900.
LBAS specialists provide a complete service ranging from short-term
maintenance checks to extensive overhauls such as 12-year inspections.
It is Europe's only MRO provider with Bombardier aircraft and
avionics modification authorization. LBAS plans to expand its
operations to other airports in Germany, including Frankfurt-am-Main
for maintenance station, and before year-end will also extend
its activities to aircraft interiors too.
