Company Profile: Lufthansa Technik Malta<br />

In September last year news surfaced that European low<br />
cost carrier easyjet had signed a multi-year deal with LTM<br />
to service the entire fleet. “The deal is as a matter of fact<br />
a network deal, involving also our sister company in Sofia<br />
for a smaller portion of the work,” Motschenbacher clarifies.<br />
The CEO appreciates that LTM was selected by easyJet,<br />
and says the low cost carrier appreciated the flexibility and<br />
reliability of LTM besides attractive pricing. “And naturally,<br />
easyJet have many frequencies into this attractive destination.<br />
There is a strong and rapidly growing partnership<br />
between easyJet and Lufthansa Technik on several levels<br />
and LTM is happy to work with this demanding customer<br />
to meet their level of expectations in quality and digital<br />
integration.”<br />
Looking ahead at challenges Motschenbacher sees the<br />
need to broaden the customer basis further and prepare<br />
for the future as the company cannot rely on A340 work<br />
long term, for instance. “So we have to look for a longterm<br />
replacement. The business flexibility must be increased<br />
making most use of the space LTM enjoys and<br />
we must succeed in withstanding the fight for new talent,”<br />
Motschenbacher concludes.<br />
Motschenbacher - Long-term, we cannot rely on the A340s anymore.<br />
