Lufthansa is ready to start scheduled A350 operations on February 10, 2017.

Lufthansa Technik has been supporting the A350's development with a special focus on maintainability. The company said it is ‘100 percent ready to provide the engineering and line maintenance services for the A350 today.’

At the beginning of 2017, Lufthansa Technik received an extension of its approval as a design organisation for the new aircraft from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA Part 21/J). The company is thus authorised to develop and approve repairs and modifications to a limited extent under its own responsibility.
