[Avionics Today 11-19-2014] Lufthansa Technik has begun construction on the company’s new overhaul facility in Puerto Rico. The maintenance division of Lufthansa Airlines is adding to its presence in the Americas — which already houses Hawker Pacific Aerospace, BizJet and Lufthansa Technik Component Services — by adding base maintenance services for Airbus A320 family aircraft.
The new hangar in Puerto Rico will feature five overhaul lines across more than 215,000 square feet of space and, as of 2015, train young mechanics without prior aviation skills.
