The Irish facility operated by Lufthansa Technik as part of its
European aircraft overhaul network is now called Lufthansa Technik
Shannon. What used to be Shannon Aerospace (SAL) – a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik AG – has thus joined Hamburg, Berlin,
Budapest, Malta and Sofia as one of the six European base maintenance
facilities in name as well as in practice. The change in name
coincides with the 25th Anniversary of the company which provides
services to over 50 airlines and employs a workforce of more than
500.

The renaming of the company, which is located at Shannon Airport in
western Ireland, is not yet visible everywhere and will be
implemented step by step over the coming months. It will not entail
any changes for customers in their current contracts, addresses or
contact partners.

Lufthansa Technik Shannon specializes in the overhaul of short- and
medium-range aircraft. The services offered include basic overhauls
(D-checks) and annual checks (C-checks) on the Boeing 737, 757, 767
and the Airbus A320 family of aircraft.

Lufthansa Technik Shannon also specializes in the provision of
extensive services to the aircraft leasing business, and here it has
the location advantage that over 50 percent of the world’s largest
aircraft leasing companies are based in Dublin and Shannon. The
number of leasing returns and transition projects is definitely on
the rise.

The fully owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik is certified by the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the American Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
