21 June, 2018: Lufthansa Technik AG has put a new tail dock in operation at its Munich base. The MRO provider invested over two million euros in the new infrastructure. The dock is used for maintenance work on the aircraft types Airbus A330, A340 and A350.
The dock facilitates maintenance work at the rear of long-haul aircraft, as it makes the vertical and horizontal stabiliser and the auxiliary power unit, APU, easier to access. It also allows different work packages to be carried out at the same time. The dock is 28.5 meters wide, 21 meters deep and 20.7 meters high. The weight is 125 tons.
