Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) Corp., operator of Clark International Airport (CRK), welcomed Lufthansa Technik Philippines’ decision to establish a new base maintenance facility there, underscoring that the airport complex is geared up for world-class aviation operations.

The new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility will complement Lufthansa Technik Philippines’ existing operations in Manila and expand the company’s MRO capabilities for the Asia-Pacific region.
Lufthansa Technik Philippines, a joint venture between Lufthansa Technik and MacroAsia Corporation, plans to develop a facility on a 157,000-square-meter site at Clark International Airport. The project will include up to nine bays for widebody aircraft maintenance.
The Clark facility will become Lufthansa Technik’s second location in the Philippines, complementing its long-established operations at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Together, the two facilities are expected to strengthen the company’s ability to serve airline customers across Asia, Australia, Europe and the Middle East.
As Lufthansa Technik’s competence center for widebody aircraft maintenance within its global network, Lufthansa Technik Philippines currently specializes in the maintenance, repair and overhaul of Airbus A330, A340, A350 and A380 aircraft, as well as Boeing 777 aircraft.
The Clark facility will add Boeing 787 support capabilities, further expanding the company’s service portfolio, according to LIPAD.
