Lufthansa Technik has completed its first cabin modification on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner at its Malta base, marking an expansion of its widebody MRO capabilities.
The programme, delivered in collaboration with Boeing and Lufthansa, involved a full cabin retrofit including new seating and upgraded monuments. The project required modifications to existing facilities in Malta to accommodate the 787’s spatial and technical requirements.
Lufthansa Technik said a further six 787 cabin modifications are scheduled to be completed at the site by year-end, underlining growing demand for retrofit work on the platform.
The milestone follows Lufthansa Technik’s designation in 2024 as the first Boeing Licensed Service Center for 787 cabin modifications, enabling it to design, certify and integrate bespoke cabin upgrades for operators.
To support this expansion, Lufthansa Technik Malta is constructing a new 6,400sqm hangar, due to come online from the end of 2026, which will increase capacity for widebody base maintenance and cabin modification work.
