Lufthansa Technik Middle East (LTME) has recently expanded
both its production capacity as well as its product and capabilities
portfolio.
The company has increased the amount of staff at its Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub at Dubai South Airport (DWC) with its workforce set to grow even further in 2020.
Gulf Air chief technical officer Jamal Hashim commented: "Gulf Air
is committed to achieving technical excellence in aircraft
maintenance. LTME's vast experience and high quality technical
expertise in the areas of maintenance is the primary reason we
selected the company as Gulf Air's ad-hoc repair service provider for
such critical items like radomes.
Secondly, their close proximity to Bahrain has the added benefit that our parts will no longer have to leave the region for maintenance, thereby improving efficiency, decreasing turnaround time, reducing logistic charges and ultimately lowering Gulf Air's operational costs while maintaining the highest quality of safety standards."
