NBAA: Lufthansa Technik launches "Executive Shuttle" concept

Based on enquiries from different potential VIP customers the shuttle concept offers a large variety of cabin designs for executive shuttle services within a manageable budget. 

Lufthansa Technik's Creative Design department has developed 20 different cabin layouts for both aircraft families, reaching from an all business / first class configuration to more sophisticated versions with sleeping options, meeting and dining areas or private rooms.

Walter Heerdt, senior vice president VIP & executive jet solutions at Lufthansa Technik said: "We see a concrete demand for our "Executive Shuttle" concept. Prospective customers from different regions are looking for possibilities to offer their special guests an exclusive on-board ambience while using the aircraft for their executive shuttle service. At the same time the interior design and completion of these executive shuttles must stay within a reasonable financial investment. We think that our concept meets exactly these customer
requirements. It also could be used as a second life for pre-owned narrow body aircraft, making partial use of refurbished existing airline cabin interior."

Lufthansa Technik offers configurations from 20 to 52 passengers for the Airbus A320 family and 20 to 56 passengers for the Boeing 737 family. The turn-around-time for the cabin refurbishment will reach from two to six months, depending on the selected interior variant. The refurbishment will be carried out at Lufthansa Technik's VIP completion centers.
