Lufthansa technik puerto rico is in operation
Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico is the first center for maintenance, repair, and refurbishing of commercial airliners opened by Lufthansa in the Americas. This facility is located in the town of Aguadilla, in northwestern Puerto Rico, and employs 200 technical workers. This center for the maintenance of airliners started operations on July 21 of 2015. Five overhaul lines can serve various planes simultaneously. The facility provides maintenance to short- and medium-haul aircraft. This technical center is connected to the runway of the Rafael Hernández International Airport, which has the longest runway in the Caribbean. The development of this facility was considered a significant step for Lufthansa Technik involvement in the Americas since the Airport's 11,700-foot runway and 3,900 acres of land was considered an ideal location for this type of facility. Spirit Airlines and JetBlue Airways are among the carriers served in this center.
