Bizliner operators who travel to remote airports that lack maintenance support are the focus for Lufthansa Technik’s Fly Away Kit. Integrated in a modified LD9 unit load device, the kit ensures the availability of important parts for aircraft operations by stowing them right on board. For example, wheels, a mobile aircraft jack, oil and other essential spare parts can be stored in the aircraft’s cargo bay for easy accessibility.

Walter Heerdt, Lufthansa Technik’s senior v-p for VIP and Executive Jet Solutions, said, “This new product gives our customers the independence to go to any remote airfield with a good feeling that they have the essential spares on board. Especially in combination with our Mobile Aircraft Support teams or onboard technicians, we can maximize the dispatched reliability for VIP operations.”

The kit can be tailored to each customer’s specific needs, operation and mission.
