Lufthansa Technik has completed a Boeing 787 Dreamliner cabin modification at its centre in Malta. This modification, LHT's first on a 787, included the removal and installation of a new seating configuration and a full upgrade of cabin monuments.
The programme involved significant technical complexity. Improvements to the facility included the conversion of a bay in Malta to accommodate increased space requirements, and involved substantial logistical efforts due to the replacement of an existing cabin with a new one. A further six cabin modifications of this type are scheduled to be completed in Malta until the end of the year and a further 6,400-square-meter hangar is being constructed to increase capacity further.

“Completing our first Boeing 787 cabin modification is a proud moment for the entire team,” said Marcus Motschenbacher, Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Aircraft Maintenance Services at Lufthansa Technik. “This program showcases our technical capabilities, our reliability, and the dedication of our workforce. The 787 platform requires deep expertise, and our ability to deliver this project with precision and on time clearly demonstrates that we are ready to support even more widebody projects in the future.”
