Lufthansa Technik Malta

Lufthansa Technik is the world market leader in maintenance, repair and overhaul of commercial aircraft, their engines and components.

To further expand and develop their company, LTM have chosen REIDsteel to design and manufacture a new maintenance complex in Malta, with two bays in addition to current services. There are 3 hangars, in total: 2 wide body hangars 90m x 90m x 26, and 1 narrow body hangar 90m x 66m x 15m.

The hangars are REIDsteel patent Archspan frames, with REIDsteel partitioning, cladding, wall vents, insulation and gutters. We also designed and manufactured the 332 tonne hangar doors.

The narrow body hangar has a door with 6 slabs on 3 tracks, giving clear entrance of 60m wide, left, right or centre, by 15m clear height. The two higher hangars have 12 doors slabs on 3 tracks, giving an entrance up to 120m wide open left, right or centre, with 26m height overlapping on each hangar.

The central wide body hangar and the narrow body hangar have now been completed. The new facility will be able to accommodate 2 wide-body aircraft simultaneously, as well as having a number of workshops within it. The construction of these hangars will bring value to the national economy and create hundreds of new jobs.
