Maintenance and Modifications
LBAS hopes to benefit from Berlin airport privatization
Although plans to build Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport have been progressing more slowly than anticipated, Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services

Although plans to build Berlin-Brandenburg International Airport have been progressing more slowly than anticipated, Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services (LBAS) remains confident that the new facility will eventually be built on the grounds of the current Schönefeld Airport, giving the company a major boost in activities and a solid base for growth.

Established on Nov. 19, 1997, as a joint venture between Lufthansa Technik and Bombardier–which hold 51- and 49-percent interests, respectively–LBAS today is a maintenance facility and, partly, an FBO. It has been a success story even without Berlin-Brandenburg, yet it was founded at Schönefeld with the assumption that the future single Berlin airport would be constructed there, on the site previously occupied by the busiest airport of the now-defunct German Democratic Republic.
