Lufthansa Technik Offers Flying Intensive Care Units
Lufthansa Technik is introducing patient transport compartments for the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft.
Each PTC replaces 16 economy seats–four rows of four seats–in the between-aisles section of an aircraft’s economy cabin. The compartment has its own walls and is modular.

Some 16 years ago, Lufthansa first deployed a patient transport compartment (PTC) on a long-haul aircraft to transport an emergency patient on an intercontinental flight. Now, the airline has taken delivery of two new PTCs for its Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental fleets. The units have been developed and made by the German airline’s Lufthansa Technik subsidiary (Hall 2c Stand C358). This means the carrier can offer a flying intensive-care unit on all long-haul flights from and to its Frankfurt and Munich hubs.
