Lufthansa Technik

Maintenance Hangar, 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 chose REIDsteel to design and manufacture a 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 facility is able to accommodate 2 wide-body aircraft simultaneously, as well as having a number of workshops within it. The construction of these hangars has brought value to the national economy and created hundreds of new jobs.
