The program is already underway at Lufthansa Technik Philippines’ existing maintenance facility in Manila, where two dedicated base maintenance lines have been assigned to Emirates. The airline will also become the launch customer for Lufthansa Technik Philippines’ new facility at Clark International Airport, once operations commence.
The agreement is one of the largest by value in the history of Lufthansa Technik Philippines and highlights the strength and continuity of the relationship between the two companies. As the world’s largest operator of the Airbus A380, Emirates has relied on Lufthansa Technik’s extensive expertise in heavy maintenance for its flagship double-deck aircraft since 2023. To date, Lufthansa Technik Philippines has successfully completed more than 30 A380 checks for the airline.
Lufthansa Technik Philippines is a joint venture between Lufthansa Technik and MacroAsia Corporation. For more than 25 years, the company has provided comprehensive maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services at its facility at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila. As Lufthansa Technik’s competence center for widebody aircraft MRO in Asia, the company specializes in services for Airbus A330, A340 and A380 as well as Boeing 777 aircraft.
Lufthansa Technik Philippines is expanding its capacity with a second facility at Clark International Airport and intends to add the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner to its portfolio.
