Lufthansa Technik Malta will be opening its hangar doors to interested visitors, especially students and their parents, between 10am and 3pm on Wednesday. This familiarisation day is part of Lufthansa Technik Malta’s efforts to create further awareness about the company and future careers.

Guided tours will be held every 30 minutes. People are reminded to bring their ID card with them, as they will be entering a security area. Lufthansa Technik Malta’s hangar is located next to Security Gate 1, past Luqa Industrial Estate.

“Technical competence, a drive to excel in whatever we do as well as stringent quality standards have made us one of the leading service providers of technical support for commercial aircraft worldwide,” said the chief executive of Lufthansa Technik Malta, Louis Giordimaina. “We are now venturing into the business of overhauling Airbus wide-body aircraft, which means a significant expansion for Lufthansa Technik Malta. Once this project is inaugurated in 18 months’ time, the company will be in a position to offer Maltese youth the opportunity of embarking on a career with exciting prospects in aircraft maintenance.”

For this purpose, Lufthansa Technik Malta has carried out a series of road shows at MCAST, Junior College, Naxxar Higher Secondary and the Employment and Training Corporation aimed at informing students about Lufthansa Technik Malta, the expansion project, as well as career opportunities in the evolving industry of aircraft maintenance. Courses leading to both licensed and unlicensed aircraft mechanics are in fact due to start in January at MCAST.

Entry requirements are O level passes in English, Physics and Mathematics at Grade 5 or higher, or an MCAST Engineering Foundation Certificate.
