At EBACE 2014, Lufthansa Technik has presented its new pre-customized
VIP cabin, which will be offered for both, the Airbus ACJ family and
the Boeing BBJ series.

Herewith, Lufthansa Technik continues and extends its successful
business with modulated narrow-body VIP cabins, which started eight
years ago with a co-operation for the successful “Elite” program
together with Airbus.

The new platform-adaptable concept offers a large variety of
configurations and is mission optimized with regards to cabin
interior weight, seating comfort, sufficient stowage volume and the
integration of client oriented features for maximum comfort and
usability, like a king size bed, vanity table, master bathroom with
full size shower and a private office.

“Lufthansa Technik has a worldwide unique and long-lasting experience
in the field of pre-customized and modulated VIP aircraft cabins.
There is no other completion centre which has gathered that much
experience with that kind of cabin outfitting or has done this kind
of work so far”, said Walter Heerdt, Senior Vice President Marketing
and Sales of Lufthansa Technik. "This new product is a supplement to
our current activities in this special completion segment. We see
excellent market chances to create a similar success story like with
the current “Elite” program or others which we have done previously."

“Within our innovation boost we are transferring innovative solutions
from our individual completion business to modular and pre-customized
programs, like the integration of our chair™ seating application.”

The new modular cabin concept allows a customer many possibilities to
combine different cabin elements that are close to an individual
cabin layout. For example, for the ACJ 319 Lufthansa Technik can
offer 96 variations, for a longer plane like the BBJ2 and other
comparable aircraft even more combinations.

“With the variety of combinations, a price, starting from 20 MUSD and
a short turnaround time for the outfitting of six months, Lufthansa
Technik adds a highly attractive new product to the market”, Heerdt
said.

In the course of the “Elite” program so far more than 20 aircraft
have been completed and delivered, one aircraft is currently in the
completion process at Lufthansa Technik’s US-subsidiary Bizjet
International.

Additionally, Lufthansa Technik completed twelve Bombardier
Challenger 850 and four BBJs for Boeing NETJET with a pre-customized
cabin in the past.

Lufthansa Technik has developed a quick change kit for narrow-body
aircraft which allows to convert an airline cabin configuration into
a VIP cabin or vice versa in just a few hours.

Besides the activities on the narrow-bodies, Lufthansa has designed
and completed wide-body VVIP cabin kits.
