Lufthansa Technik facility fully operational at Dubai South

The new facility of Lufthansa Technik Middle East (LTME) has become fully operational in the aviation district at Dubai South.
The new facility was inaugurated in the presence of Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, Chairman of Emirates airline and Chief Executive of the Emirates Group; Khalifa Al Zaffin, executive chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Dubai South; and Gunter Rauer, Consul-General of Germany in Dubai.  
Before becoming fully operational, the new facility was successfully audited by the Federal Aviation Office of Germany and different customers from the region. A range of aircraft parts have already been repaired on-site like thrust reversers, inlet cowls and radomes in recent weeks.
Khalifa Al Zaffin said the aviation district is pleased to engage with a leading global player like Lufthansa Technik.
"Within the 7.2 sqkm district, we are progressively building an aviation ecosystem that will match the best in the world, in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. I am certain that Lufthansa Technik will become a powerful player on the aviation landscape at Dubai South."
Ziad Al Hazmi, CEO of Lufthansa Technik Middle East, said the official inauguration of "our new site is a major milestone within our business strategy for this important region."
"Over the past weeks we have received high interest regarding our new capabilities from different commercial operators based in the Middle East. It makes us very proud to be the first company to run operations at the aerospace supply chain in the Dubai South Aviation District," he said.
