Lufthansa Technik and Emirates have extended their base maintenance services contract to support Emirates' fleet of Airbus A380 aircraft in Asia. On September 2, 2026, the two organizations said that Lufthansa Technik Philippines will continue to perform heavy checks on Emirates' A380 aircraft through 2030.
At the Lufthansa Technik Philippines facility in Manila, the MRO company provides two dedicated base maintenance lines to Emirates, the world's largest A380 operator. According to Lufthansa Technik, the new agreement is one of the largest by value in the history of its Philippines facility.
Emirates will also become the launch customer for Lufthansa Technik Philippines' new facility at Clark International Airport (MNL) once operations begin. The new facility at Clark International Airport will support Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 aircraft.
