Lufthansa Technik Component Services (LTCS) has officially opened a new state-of-the-art, 25,000 sq ft facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, representing the first major milestone in a two-part expansion programme.
The new facility, the third on the LTCS Tulsa campus, includes 90 new workstations, an upgraded avionics workshop, and expanded administrative areas to support the growing demand for component MRO across the Americas.
Combined with ongoing renovations in the original two buildings, LTCS said the expansion will result in a major increase in production space.
According to LTCS, among the notable new capabilities is the repair and overhaul of Integrated Drive Generators (IDG) used in Airbus A320ceo and A320neo as well as Boeing 737NG and MAX aircraft.
The Tulsa facility has a wide range of component workshops, including avionics, galley components, emergency equipment, hydraulics, pneumatics, and fuel systems, ensuring comprehensive support for all major commercial aircraft types.
LTCS said customers across the Americas also benefit from its extensive customer service organisation, material management services, warehousing capabilities, and 24/7 component availability from strategically stocked material stores across the region.
All services are fully integrated into Lufthansa Technik’s global network, with major component hubs in Hamburg and Frankfurt, Germany, and Shenzhen, China.
LTCS said this alignment enables Tulsa to serve as a key gateway for component support solutions in the Americas – particularly for operators seeking greater reliability, deeper technical integration, and long‑term lifecycle support.
Tobias Baumgart, managing director of LTCS, said: “With this significant strategic investment, we are expanding our capabilities in the aviation hub Tulsa, to be in the region for the region. It strengthens our presence as a premium partner and underscores our commitment to being an attractive employer in the area.
“We are grateful for the strong partnership with state of Oklahoma and our Tulsa community.”
Harald Gloy, chief operating officer of Lufthansa Technik, said: “The Americas represent a key market for MRO services worldwide. With this expansion, we build on our long-standing presence on the continent and further reaffirm our commitment to delivering world-class technical services close to our customers.
“This is another milestone that highlights our dedication to meeting the evolving needs and reinforces our position as leading global MRO.”
John Budd, chief executive of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, said: “LTCS’ new Tulsa facility marks a major milestone for Oklahoma’s aerospace industry, strengthening our position as a leading hub for MRO services in the Americas.
“This expansion brings advanced capabilities, state‑of‑the‑art infrastructure, and high‑quality jobs that underscore the confidence global companies place in Oklahoma’s workforce and business environment. We value Lufthansa Technik’s continued investment and are proud to support their long‑term growth in our state.”
Alexis Higgins, chief executive at Tulsa International Airport, said: “This expansion represents more than a new building. It represents new opportunities for skilled aviation professionals in our community and expanded capabilities that strengthen Tulsa’s reputation for world-class aviation services.
“We are proud to have Lufthansa Technik as a long-time partner at TUL and excited to celebrate another milestone in their continued growth here.”
