Lufthansa Technik Turbine Shannon (LTTS)

Lufthansa Technik Turbine Shannon, also called LTTS, is an engine parts repair shop in Shannon, County Clare, Ireland. It sits in the World Aviation Park. The site calls it an Engine Parts and Accessories Repair shop, or EPAR. It repairs parts from high pressure and low pressure turbines.

Its main skill is the repair of nozzles, shrouds and shroud hangers. The company says it has more than 20 years of experience here. Most of these parts come from CFM56 engines, which power the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737. It has also grown its work on CFM56 and V2500 engine manifolds. A second, recently opened site in Shannon supports this work.

The product list covers several parts. These are low pressure turbine nozzles for CFM56-5A, 5B and 7B engines, high pressure turbine shrouds, and high pressure turbine shroud hangers for the CFM56-5B, 5C and 7B. The shroud hanger repairs use CNC milling and TIG and SWET welding. The company says it holds OEM approval for this work. It also repairs low pressure turbine cooling manifolds and external tubes, and it lists the low pressure turbine outer stationary air seal segment as another product.

LTTS also designs and develops new repairs with engine makers such as GE and CFMI or Rolls-Royce. These cover current and future products, for example the CFMI LEAP and the Rolls-Royce XWB. It also offers the sale and exchange of parts from its range.

The company states it has more than 400 employees and more than 16,400 square metres of floor space. It was established in 1992. Its customers include OEMs, engine overhaul shops and parts traders in Asia, Europe and the Americas.

The site says the team works as a lean and flexible group. It adds that the company keeps investing in equipment, training and product development.
