Lufthansa Technik has opened a new location for aircraft production inspection in North Charleston, South Carolina.
The new location will support inspections of Boeing 787s assembled in North Charleston, Lufthansa says.
It mirrors two similar aircraft production inspection locations in the USA, which are located in Everett and Renton, Washington. Boeing assembles widebodies in Everett and the 737 in Renton.
“We are now offering production inspection at all Boeing sites and for all Boeing aircraft types currently in production,” says Marcus Motschenbacker, director of network sales and customers service at Lufthansa Technik.
As marketed under the Aircraft Production Inspection Program, Lufthansa Technik inspects newly-assembled aircraft as a service for airlines and leasing companies.
