A lot of Lufthansa heading to Manchester

It was announced today that Air Livery, based at Manchester Airport in the UK, will be handling the refinish painting work on the narrow and widebody fleets of Lufthansa.

These aircraft are the ones which would usually have gone to Lufthansa Technik’s Hamburg factory, which is now closed. It is understood that Lufthansa was impressed with Air Livery’s work, and with the easy ability to ferry crews to and from Manchester on its various daily flights to Germany.

The first Boeing 747-400 aircraft is expected to arrive next week, and presumably it will be a steady flow from then on.
