Consulting and business model solutions
The know-how tank
In a highly dynamic market, connecting your fleet requires both technical know-how and dedicated business model solutions. Lufthansa Technik can advise customers from the very outset of their planning process. And we know how future technological advances or changes in customer requirements can affect retrofits or conversions.
Connectivity has become a buzzword in the aviation business. Passengers prefer an airline that offers in-flight Internet access, wishing to remain online during the entire flight. On-board Wi-Fi is therefore more important than mere in-flight entertainment. But service differentiation is just the beginning – airlines must continuously align their business model to avoid falling behind.

Apart from our extensive expertise and wide range of business relationships, these are the key benefits you gain in terms of project and fleet layover management with Lufthansa Technik as your partner:

“Lufthansa Technik's Supplemental Type Certificates for connectivity solutions cover more than 70% of all commercial aircraft.”
