We are ready for distance learning

The aviation industry is facing a dramatical and extraordinary situation these days. This requires new, pragmatic solutions. All the classroom content offered by us is adapted to digital trainings, e.g. a mix of live lectures, online discussions and interaction, video sequences, web-based training and self-study opportunities. The local airworthiness authorities agreed to the use of distance learning for technical trainings – even for Approved Courses! Please contact the Key Account Management Team for your inquiries.

Lufthansa Technical Training GmbH (LTT) is our provider of training and qualification programs for the aviation industry. Everything that technical staff of maintenance and repair companies and related industries needs to know is covered by their courses.

The special competence of the company is its ability to put together from its extensive portfolio of training offerings customized training packages that reflect the latest methods and principles of teaching for every customer.

LTT's global activities range from initial training for the annual intake of apprentices at Lufthansa Technik to a variety of training, education and qualification measures. More than 600 companies worldwide in aviation manufacturing, in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and in other aviation-related fields trust in their competencies.

Lufthansa Technical Training works with three different forms of training: classic classroom training, practical training and e-learning methods. These are combined with each other in the optimal fashion within particular courses in accordance with the principle of "blended training". Thus, for example, with this coordinated mix of training methods, 50 percent of the tuition could consist of web-based training and 50 percent of classic classroom teaching.

Lufthansa Technik Turbine Shannon (LTTS) specializes in the repair of components for both high pressure and low pressure turbines for CFMI and GE aircraft engines. It is part of our EPAR (Engine Parts & Accessories Repair) network. The company is licensed by the engine OEMs General Electric and CFMI to carry out repairs in accordance with their engine shop manuals. This makes LTTS unique as one of a small number of companies outside of the engine manufacturers who are licensed to carry out repairs.

Their expertise and focus is on the repair of high pressure turbine (HPT) shrouds, high and low pressure turbine Nozzle Guide Vanes (HPT & LPT NGVs) from the CFM56 series, CF6-80C2 and CF34 type engines.

Lufthansa Technik Turbine Shannon is utilizing state-of-art equipment including a fully automated chemical cleaning facility as well as a modern molten salt cleaning line and a platinum plating line to support the full range of OEM approved repairs.

Lufthansa Technik Intercoat, our joint venture with Intercon Holding GmbH (49 percent), specializes in the repair of components, damaged by wear, corrosion, and cavitation, with the "Advanced Epoxy Coating" process. Components which, in the past, would have been scrapped can now be refurbished. 

The proven repair procedure called INTERFILL^® has been continuously improved over the years INTERFILL^® is a material that has been tested for airworthiness and which not only restores the usability of the components, but also leaves them with better operational characteristics than they had in the original state. In order to develop its special characteristics, it is applied like a paste at a thickness ranging from 0.05 to 0.5 millimeters and then cured in a fan-forced kiln. For locally isolated damage, it is possible to fill to a depth of up to 5.0 millimeters. Several variants of the material have been developed, differing in terms of their abrasion resistance, media resistance, and effective operating temperature ranges.

Although INTERFILL^® – a mixture of epoxy resin and application-specific filling materials – was initially used exclusively as a high-performance material for engine repair, it now finds almost universal application throughout all parts of an aircraft. The field of application for the "Advanced Epoxy Coating" procedure outside of the aviation industry is also considerable. Already today, many industrial components from the automotive engineering, shipping, gas turbine and machine construction industries are repaired with this high-performance material, opening up new market potential for Lufthansa Technik Intercoat.

Lumics, our joint venture with McKinsey & Company (50%), is specialized in providing consultancy services for industrial manufacturing and production companies. The focus is on the optimization of complex production processes and the operational implementation in the aviation, automotive, energy, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Alongside classical consultancy services, the new company also offers very practical support in the tangible improvement of various work processes and production processes. The Lumics personnel not only put together new production processes; they also manage and coordinate the entire change and implementation cycle through to the establishment phase.

In contrast to common practice in the consulting sector, the team consists not only of management consultants, but also of industrial master craftspersons and mechanics who previously worked directly on aircraft themselves. This increases credibility and effective persuasiveness on the shop floor, and the combination of an internal and an external perspective makes it easier to recognize, analyze and resolve certain types of problems. 

Our joint venture with Air Malta (8 percent) provides line and base maintenance services for short-haul and long-haul aircraft in the Airbus A320, A330/340 and Boeing 737 series.

A great milestone in difficult times

The first Rolls-Royce Trent XWB refurbishment engine has successfully passed the engine test. "A great and important milestone in these difficult times, which the N3 team is very proud of," Managing Directors Nicole Fehr and Stefan Landes are pleased to say. In 2020, N3 had to adapt more quickly than planned to a change in the portfolio towards the Trent XWB: in June, we delivered the last Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engine for the time being after a regular overhaul in the previous business model. But the future, belongs to the latest and most modern engine type for long-haul, the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-84k. This year, a total of 40 Trent XWB engines are already to be processed .
