Manpower demand to maintain civil jet aircraft
fleet Source for future maintenance personnel
in Germany

• School levers
• Today, around 900 young German people start an
  apprenticeship as aircraft mechanic / electrician
  annually
• 60 at the various OEM (incl. EADS), component
  suppliers or Air Force
• 30 at LHT in line and base maintenance and
  engine / component overhaul
• 10 at various smaller MRO companies

• Applicants already having a technical
  qualification
• Poaching personnel from competitors or other
  industries which offer even less attractive
  condition than the MRO industry
• Unemployed people who worked for companies or
  entire industries which are in bad shape due to
  changes of economic conditions
• Retired Air Force staff that were qualified to
  work only on selected military fighter or
  transport aircraft sections

Manpower demand to maintain civil jet aircraft
fleet consequences of the current finance
crisis

• Analysts at JP Morgan and others assume that one
  third of deliveries scheduled for next year can
  not be financed
• Surplus aircraft capacity in particular older,
  maintenance intensive will be taken out of
  service and parked
• No additional manpower in maintenance will be
  employed to support the remaining fleet
• What did the industry learn from the last crisis
  when the MROs did not employ new staff over 4
  5 years?
• At Lufthansa Technik we
• Always have a constant flow of apprentices to
  cater for fluctuation
• Created an employment service firm to provide
  trained mechanics on a temporary basis for
  various MRO tasks
