As one of the world's leading providers of basic and further training, LTT delivers basic technical training, type-specific advanced training and non-specialized further training for employees and management staff in the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) industry for aircraft, engines and components in the commercial aviation sector.

The fully owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik was founded in 1994 and employs 550 worldwide. LTT operates training companies in Germany, England, Chile, China, Taiwan and the Philippines and has an equity stake in the time-share personnel provider, AviationPower GmbH.
