To meet the increasing demand of the growing market, Lufthansa Technik has opened a warehouse location in Japan. The new site, intended for storing components, is based directly at Narita Airport in Tokyo. Therefore, the MRO provider is further expanding its footprint in the Asia-Pacific region, enabling even swifter delivery of aircraft parts.
Located at Narita Airport, the facility shall be developed to serve as a hub for material supply, significantly enhancing local availability. While the new warehouse location will initially serve Lufthansa Technik’s customers in Japan, there are plans to extend the service to customers in other countries within the region in the future.
Dennis Kohr, Senior Vice President Corporate Sales Asia Pacific at Lufthansa Technik, says: “The fact that Lufthansa Technik opens its first warehouse location in Tokyo proves how important it is for us to strengthen our relationship with our Japanese customers. To continue growing together, we are pleased to offer the required service exactly where it is needed and thus expanding our strong market position in components, that we already have in northern Asia. We plan to broaden operations and extend our support also to other countries in the region.”
Andreas Tielmann, CEO at Lufthansa Technik Logistics Services, adds: “As one of the leading logistics service providers in the maintenance, repair and overhaul industry and for airline companies, we are enlarging our global network by having a warehouse in Japan that enables us to better distribute material. Due to its proximity to Narita Airport, the location provides increased transportation convenience, leading to enhanced logistical efficiency.”
