New engine types

Gearing up for the future

Many new engine types are coming to market. We have built up our capabilities for these engine types and will continue to expand them in the future – using our experience from more than 20 engine rollouts in the past. As for current engine types today, we are defining services for future engines with excellent quality in short turnaround times at the best prices. We offer operators of new aircraft a growing portfolio for their specific engines – covering all services for the entire engine lifecycle.

To perfectly maintain the new engine types, we increased our capabilities:

  • LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines are overhauled at Lufthansa Technik Headquarters in Hamburg. 
  • PW1100 and PW1500G power plants are serviced at Engine Maintenance Europe (EME Aero), a joint venture with MTU Aero Engines.
  • Trent XWB engines are serviced at N3 Engine Overhaul Services, our joint venture company with Rolls-Royce located in Arnstadt, Germany.

Our LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B services

We are ready to support your LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engine operations, representing the next generation of aircraft engines. As a premier MRO provider, we offer the full spectrum of MRO services, ranging from Mobile Engine Services to Full Performance Restoration Shop Visits up to piece part level for your LEAP engines.

Following our ambition to support you during each stage of your engine operation lifecycle, it is essential for us to be on top of the development and well prepared to meet your requirements. The experience that we gained over the years and multiple trainings on the LEAP-1A and -1B provide a solid foundation to support you during the early phase of your LEAP engine operations and beyond.

We are continuing our journey and have been expanding our capabilities on the LEAP-1A and -1B, including qualification for the latest quick turn procedures and the introduction of repair capabilities on piece part level. Our Mobile Engine Services offers a broad spectrum of customized repair and maintenance solutions worldwide and is our fast track to avoid major engine shop visits. Depending on the requirements of the individual repair solution, the available options range from InFIELD services performed on-wing or on-site to a number of smaller InSTATION events performed at our local repair stations. We support CFM LEAP-1A and -1B  operators with InFIELD solutions ranging from borescope inspections to QEC removal and installations and Fuel Nozzle Replacements – just to name a few.

Lufthansa Technik is an authorized LEAP Service Provider licensed by CFM International.

SmartLIFE: Optimizing the engine's lifecycle

The end of an engine's service life presents a powerful opportunity to reduce the costs.

This is why we developed a completely customizable product ensuring the most cost-effective maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) solution. Because when an aircraft fleet is destined for phase-out, the engine services paradigm changes from overhaul to providing thrust. With SmartLIFE, we adapt the measures taken precisely to the desired remaining service life. The service spectrum offers utmost flexibility, from a reduced depth of penetration during overhaul to replacing a power plant completely, for example with a leased engine. Minimized MRO costs and cash flow optimization are just two of the many benefits. Numerous additional features, from on-site repairs to the use of surplus parts or modules, round out this service.

SmartLIFE

Benefit from ​your engine greentime

The current situation changed the demands within the aviation industry and thus the lifecycle of an engine. That is why we adapted our existing SmartLIFE service and developed a variety of solutions ensuring the most cost-effective use of your engines. Because parked aircraft imply parked engines with remaining greentime, swapping engines and modules can reduce the MRO costs significantly. By changing the engines or modules at the right time you may postpone or even avoid larger shop visits and furthermore prevent a potential bottleneck once the overhaul demand increases.

Whether you want to change your entire engine or just parts of it, we support you with our technical know-how. In combination with our Mobile Engine Services, we offer you different solutions that range from consultation to the complete handling of the engine swap including the logistics.

Good Advice is priceless

We can reshape the standard engine maintenance plan according to your individual needs to reduce costs and increase your fleet's technical reliability. Going one step further by applying a preventive maintenance approach, Engine Condition Monitoring, allows faults to be detected and rectified before they occur. Our specialized engineers can calculate engine running time, evaluate airworthiness directives (ADs) or assess a power plant technically before you buy or lease it. Whatever service you need around the power horses of your fleet, our experts will support you with experience and competence – from the perspective of an airline.
