German flag carrier Lufthansa has a large fleet that consists of close to 300 aircraft. Keeping such a significant number of planes operational is a huge project, and the airline does so through its own engineering division. Known as Lufthansa Technik<\/a>, this part of the company has bases situated all around the world. But where exactly are these?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dedicated maintenance and engineering team has supported Lufthansa <\/a>for decades. Nonetheless, it only reached into existence as a separate entity, namely Lufthansa <\/a>Technik, in January 1995. However, while this branch of the company was a new creation, its primary base was not. This facility is found in Hamburg, in northern Germany.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamburg is an interesting location for such a base. It is a key city for European aviation, with Airbus including a significant presence there. However, for Lufthansa, it is a small airport. Indeed, the German flag carrier serves just two domestic routes from there. As such, the reason for Lufthansa Technik’s significant presence in Hamburg is a historical one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A maintenance base has existed in Hamburg <\/strong>since 1951<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This predates the post-war establishment of Lufthansa as Germany’s new peacetime flag carrier in 1953. However, the reason for the base’s construction was, in fact, in preparation for the new airline’s takeoff. Today, it hosts some 7,500 employees over more than 750,000 square meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
