Lufthansa Technik Component Services has completed its first phase of expansion in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to boost capabilities for the North American Market.
The company has opened the doors on a new 25,000 ft.2 building that includes 90 new workstations, an upgraded avionics workshop and expanded administrative areas. According to Lufthansa Technik (LHT), the expansion has added new repair and overhaul capabilities for integrated drive generators used in Airbus A320ceo, A320neo, Boeing 737NG and 737 MAX aircraft.
The new building is Lufthansa Technik Component Services’ (LTCS) third at its Tulsa campus. The site’s other two buildings are also undergoing renovations to increase production space and enable additional capabilities in areas such as pneumatics and complex avionics.
LHT COO Harald Gloy said in a LinkedIn post that phase two of the Tulsa expansion will include adding another 57,000 ft.2 to enable 40,000 more component repairs annually. He noted that the company is investing more than $300 million to expand its component business in Tulsa.
Once the second phase of expansion is complete, LTCS will have tripled its building space in Tulsa, according to a company statement.
The facility is not LHT’s only recent components investment in the Americas. Last April, it launched a dedicated used serviceable material business from its Miami hub.
The company is also carrying out several other global expansions. On March 25, Lufthansa Technik Middle East opened a new painting and grinding center at Dubai South.
Lufthansa Technik Canada’s new engine MRO facility in Calgary is expected to open soon. It is also building a test cell there for the CFM International Leap-1B engine.
There are three new construction projects underway at LHT’s Hamburg headquarters, including more workshop buildings for Special Aircraft Services and Aircraft Component Services.
LHT expects to open a new Lufthansa Technik Portugal location in Santa Maria de Feira at the end of 2027.
