The Lufthansa Technik completion center has finished the VVIP cabin conversion of the second Boeing 747-8 in Hamburg.
The aircraft has now been delivered to an undisclosed customer. Another aircraft of this type is currently undergoing completion. In the past the company equipped fourteen aircraft of the predecessors to the current Boeing 747-8 and is the leading provider for this aircraft type throughout the industry.
“The delivery of this second 747-8 is another milestone for us in the area of VVIP completions for widebody aircraft.”
Walter Heerdt, senior vice president VIP & Executive Jet Solutions said: “The delivery of this second 747-8 is another milestone for us in the area of VVIP completions for widebody aircraft. We have handed over an individually designed, state-of-the-art aircraft fitted with high-quality materials to meet the most discerning demands in terms of exclusivity and comfort.”
“The many years’ experience with different aircraft types, our innovative strength and the passion of our employees has enabled us to set new standards,” added Heerdt.
