Swiss Specialist Extends Service Life of Aging Galley Units
Bucher Leichtbau, a Swiss aircraft interior specialist, has completed a large-scale refurbishment of galley units for Lufthansa’s Airbus A320 and A321 fleet. The program, which prioritized retaining existing structural elements and integrating upgrades, has returned equipment originally delivered in 2011 to service rather than replacing it. This approach supports Lufthansa’s sustainability goals and reduces waste. The refurbishment is part of the carrier’s ongoing efforts to modernize its fleet, which includes incremental cabin updates and the introduction of newer aircraft. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
