Eurowings becomes the second Lufthansa Group carrier to introduce the revised training concept, following Brussels Airlines. [^4]

Lufthansa Technik opened its repair facility at Calgary's airport in 2025 and employs 80 people, with plans to expand to a 14,000-square-metre facility employing about 160 people by 2030. [^5]
