Lufthansa Technik Philippines, a joint venture of Germany’s Lufthansa Technik AG and Philippine aviation company, MacroAsia Corporation, recently opened its new widebody hangar in its Manila facility. Located east of the existing four-bay hangar, the one-bay hangar has an internal dimension that can fit one Boeing 747- 400/800, B777-300, Airbus A340-600 or two single-aisle aircraft at one time. The internal clearances allow tail-in positioning of an aircraft for optimum use of the new hangar.

With the opening of the additional widebody hangar, Lufthansa Technik Group is further expanding its aircraft maintenance capacity in Asia. Already one of the most important MRO providers in Asia, LTP will now be well-equipped to provide full technical support to Philippine Airlines’ growing fleet and at the same time meet increasing international demand for base maintenance checks of Airbus A330/A340 operators.
