en.Wedoany.com Reported - Lufthansa Technik Philippines, a joint venture between Lufthansa Technik and MacroAsia Corporation, is significantly expanding its operations in the Philippines with a new base maintenance facility at Clark International Airport. The new facility covers 157,000 square meters and is planned to offer up to nine widebody aircraft bays. This investment of several hundred million dollars will create approximately 1,200 highly skilled jobs in the coming years. Initial operations are scheduled to begin in 2028.

The Clark base will be Lufthansa Technik's second site in the Philippines and will complement the long-standing operation at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, where the company has been present for over 25 years and recently secured a long-term lease renewal. Together, the two sites form a powerful widebody aircraft MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) hub and strengthen Lufthansa Technik's presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Soeren Stark, CEO of Lufthansa Technik, stated while welcoming German Federal President Steinmeier at Lufthansa Technik Philippines that Asia-Pacific is one of the fastest-growing aviation markets globally, and the Philippines is central to the region's strategy. With the investment in the new Clark base, the company has taken a decisive step in its growth strategy and positioned Lufthansa Technik for the future of aviation, extending far beyond the region's borders. Holger Beck, CEO of Lufthansa Technik Philippines, said during the visit of German Federal President Steinmeier to the facility that by building the new base maintenance site at Clark, the company is making a significant investment in the Philippines and substantially expanding Lufthansa Technik's network in the country and the Asia-Pacific region.

The bases in Manila and Clark will complement each other as two pillars of growth, together opening a new chapter for Lufthansa Technik Philippines. He expressed that it was an honor that President Marcos Jr. and Federal President Steinmeier recognized this commitment during their meeting, and he was particularly pleased to welcome Federal President Steinmeier to the Manila facility. This expansion underscores Lufthansa Technik's long-term commitment to the Philippines as a strategic hub. With these two facilities, the company is well-prepared to meet the growing demands of airline customers from Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East. As a widebody aircraft capability center within Lufthansa Technik's global network, Lufthansa Technik Philippines specializes in MRO services for Airbus A330, A340, A350, and A380 aircraft, as well as Boeing 777s. With the addition of the Clark facility, the company's portfolio will also include the Boeing 787.
