Etihad Engineering has successfully completed its first 12-year check on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner for LOT Polish Airlines, the flag carrier of Poland. This significant milestone further cements Etihad Engineering's reputation in delivering industry-leading heavy maintenance solutions for major commercial Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

Daniel Hoffmann, CEO of Etihad Engineering, said:

"A 12-year check on the Boeing 787 requires extraordinary precision, planning, and execution. The successful delivery of our first B787 12-year check underscores the expertise and diligence of the Etihad Engineering team in carrying out extensive and complex aircraft maintenance projects. We are honoured by the trust that LOT Polish Airlines has placed in us and remain committed to delivering the highest standards of quality and safety to all our customers from around the world."

Wiktor Radoń, Engineering Director of LOT Polish Airlines, commented:

"At LOT Polish Airlines, safety and reliability are at the core of our operations. We have a long-standing relationship with Etihad Engineering, and their performance on this first 12-year check on our B787 has exceeded our expectations. Their technical expertise and commitment to excellence assure us that our fleet is in the best hands."

The aircraft was the first in a series of LOT Polish B787s scheduled for 12-year checks. The next input of the programme is now undergoing heavy maintenance at Etihad Engineering’s state-of-the-art MRO facility in Abu Dhabi.
