LHT Working on A350-900 for German Government’s Special Air Mission Wing

: May 13, 2020 - : 2:44 am

Lufthansa Technik has begun work on the cabin conversion of the first of three Airbus A350-900s for the German Federal Government’s Special Air Mission Wing. The aircraft it will be  delivered by the end of July.

The aircraft is now at Hamburg’s International Airport in Fuhlsbüttel, where it will be given a government cabin by Lufthansa Technik’s VIP & Special Mission Aircraft Services product division.

As this aircraft is to be made available to the German Air Force very soon, it will initially be equipped with a special transitional cabin for the transport of representatives of the Federal Government and its accompanying delegations. The corresponding preliminary work began in November 2019 in Lufthansa Technik’s VIP workshops.

The transitional cabin is being tailored to the specific requirements of the customer. It will be equipped with office and conference areas, adjoined to a multifunctional lounge area. The rest of the cabin space will be available to the accompanying delegations. It will have generous seat spacing, an appropriate number of washrooms and modern kitchen equipment.

“Over decades we have formed a comprehensive partnership with the German Air Force, in the course of which we have already equipped a large number of aircraft with special cabins for government representatives,” said Kai-Stefan Röpke, Vice President VIP & Special Mission Aircraft Services. “Today we are of course particularly pleased to be able to extend this cooperation to the most modern generation of aircraft and to install the first government cabin in an Airbus A350. This is not only a first for our long-standing customer German Air Force or for Lufthansa Technik, but for the entire industry”.
