Lufthansa Technik introduces modular Fly Away Kit for VVIP and Special Missions

Lufthansa Technik is introducing a new product, the Fly Away Kit, to
the VVIP and Special Mission market. The Fly Away Kit is integrated
in a modified LD9 Unit Load Device (ULD) and ensures the availability
of important spare parts for aircraft operations by stowing them
right on board.

For example, wheels, a mobile aircraft jack, essential spare parts or
oil can be stored. Easily accessible in the aircraft’s cargo bay,
technicians have the equipment, where it is needed. Based on the
shadow-board principle like a toolbox, the VIP style Fly Away Kit is
clearly organized.

Designed by Lufthansa Technik’s VIP & Executive Jet Solutions
division the new product has already been ordered by a VVIP customer
operating an Airbus 340 in Head of state configuration.

Walter Heerdt, Luftansa Technik’s Senior Vice President VIP &
Executive Jet Solutions, said: “This new product gives our customers
the independence to go to any remote airfield with a good feeling
having the essential spares on-board. Especially in combination with
our Mobile Aircraft Support teams or on-board technicians we can
maximize the dispatched reliability for VIP operations.”

Building on Lufthansa Technik’s unique component support experience,
the Fly Away Kit can be tailored for each customer’s specific needs,
operation and mission. For example, the new Patient Transport Unit
Next Generation (PTU NG) can be safely stowed in the ULD along with
other emergency medical equipment. Special mission operators get the
flexibility to store all the required equipment in this customizable
standard container.

For the first time Lufthansa Technik  presents a 1:6 model of the Fly
Away Kit and the on-board stowage solution of the Patient Transport
Unit Next Generation (PTU NG) as one example of nearly endless
stowage solutions at its booth (no.2289) at the NBAA Convention 2014
in Orlando, Florida, USA.

The modular concept of the on-board stowage solution allows
individual stowages for every need and container type independent of
wide- or narrowbody aircrafts. The size of a standard LD9 container
is 1.6 m high, 3.2 m wide and 2.2 m deep.
