Top performance across the Group

The A380 is innovative in many respects, and throws up new, technical challenges. Lufthansa Technik engineers are also contributing their profound knowledge to its development, as are the IT specialists at Lufthansa Systems. In all Lufthansa’s business areas, future visions are taking shape with the A380. Staff are enthusiastic about this development and are making meticulous preparations for the introduction of the aircraft.

Networking: A flying computer centre

That is what the IT specialists at Lufthansa call the new Airbus. Safety, reliability and customer service are the top priorities.

Lufthansa Pilots: High tech in the cockpit

One click on a point in the cockpit display is all it takes for Ingo Tegtmeyer, a Lufthansa captain, to open up a menu that is virtually unparalleled in terms of its clarity and layout.

Environment: The three-litre innovation

The campaigners for climate protection want it, Lufthansa too: outstanding ecological efficiency. The new Lufthansa Airbus A380 sets new standards in terms of the environmental compatibility of civil aircraft.

Power plants: Quiet engines packed with power

An aircraft is only as good as its engines. Both its efficiency and its environmental compatibility depend to a large extent on the technology chosen.

Maintenance hangar: Electronics replace screwdrivers

All Lufthansa’s A380s will have their home base at Frankfurt. That is why Germany’s largest industrial hangar and state-of-the-art maintenance centre was built at Frankfurt Airport.

Cooperation: A380 joint venture

Lufthansa Technik and Air France are sharing maintenance services for the A380. Europe’s two big Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) specialists will offer their services worldwide.
