Boeing and Lufthansa Technik have announced an agreement designating Lufthansa Technik as the first Boeing Licensed Service Center (BLSC) for cabin modifications on 787 Dreamliner airplanes. This collaboration aims to enhance market options and capacity for such modifications. The announcement was made jointly at the Farnborough International Airshow.

As a BLSC, Lufthansa Technik is authorized to perform interior modifications on the 787 as an external maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) service provider. This designation allows operators, lessors, and other companies with 787 cabin modification needs to choose Lufthansa Technik for designing new cabin interiors, providing associated engineering services, and performing integrations according to customer specifications. Additionally, Lufthansa Technik will handle certification of these modification projects at its global network facilities.

Harald Gloy, Chief Operating Officer at Lufthansa Technik, commented: “This is a great endorsement from Boeing of Lufthansa Technik's outstanding cabin modification services. Customers looking to modify the interior of their Dreamliner will be able to find the full range of services from us. As Boeing's licensed Service Center for cabin modification of the 787, we are pleased to contribute our expertise in this area and to create additional capacity in the market as the world's largest MRO provider.”

Doug Backhus, Vice President of Boeing Cabins, Modifications and Maintenance, stated: “We are pleased to bring additional interior modification capacity to 787 owners and operators by designating Lufthansa Technik as the first Boeing Licensed Service Center. Through this novel collaboration, customers will benefit from Lufthansa Technik’s decades of MRO experience and familiarity with the 787 platform.”

Preparations are underway for Lufthansa Technik to commence its first 787 cabin modification project in 2025. The BLSC will supplement Boeing’s existing 787 Interior Modifications offerings by adding more capacity for the market.

This agreement follows the completion of the first base maintenance event on a 787 Dreamliner this April at Lufthansa Technik Malta.
