Lufthansa Technik Malta to build hangar for Boeing 787 cabin modifications

Lufthansa Technik Malta is planning to build a new 6,400-square-metre hangar for base maintenance services, with a particular focus on Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft cabin modifications. The hangar building, expected to be operational by autumn 2026 following a construction period of approximately 18 months, will have sufficient space for one widebody aircraft, and an additional three parking spots for narrowbody aircraft.

The Malta site is the Lufthansa Technik group’s centre of excellence for widebody base maintenance services in Europe. The new hangar will be attached to the existing buildings at the site, for a total of four hangars capable of carrying out MRO on nearly all commercial Airbus aircraft – except the A380 – as well as on the B787. The new hangar represents an investment of around 22 million Euros (US$24 million), and is expected to add around 70 new jobs to the site’s existing workforce of 580.

According to Lufthansa Technik, as a Boeing-licenced service centre it is the only MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) provider in the world that is authorised to perform the combination of B787 cabin modification engineering services and their implementation.

Lufthansa Technik received Boeing’s licence to carry out cabin modifications on 787 Dreamliner aircraft in 2024. Since then, preparations have been underway, and the first cabin modification is scheduled to start this year in one of the existing hangars in Malta.

As a Boeing-licenced Service Center for B787 cabin modifications, Lufthansa Technik is authorised to design new cabin interiors, provide the corresponding engineering, and carry out the integration according to customer requirements. With the licence granted by Boeing, Lufthansa Technik will also manage the certification process.

“With the expansion of our Base Maintenance Service Centre in Malta, we are strengthening the global network of Lufthansa Technik and, in addition to the previously announced construction of two new facilities in Portugal and Canada, we have achieved another major milestone in our corporate strategy within a few months,” said Harald Gloy, chief operating officer at Lufthansa Technik.

“Lufthansa Technik Malta will be the first location worldwide where Lufthansa Technik will carry out work on the 787 Dreamliner as a Boeing-licenced service centre for cabin modifications. This will not only create new options for our customers, but also highly qualified jobs in Malta,” he added.
