History
For the maintenance of the growing Boeing 737 - and A320-fleet of airberlin, airberlin started to expand its technical department in 1991. As part of the growth of airberlin and the acquisition of dba (Deutsche British Airways) in 2006, the dba technical department, which since 1992 was in charge of the maintenance of the Boeing 737 fleet of dba, was integrated.

2007 LTU was taken over by airberlin. Since 1955 the LTU had established an own aircraft maintenance organization, the LTU Technik, that has been in charge of the maintenance of LTUs de Havilland Dove, Tristar, MD11, Boeing 757, Boeing 767, Airbus A330 and Airbus A320-fleet. During the takeover of LTU, the LTU Technik was also integrated into the airberlin.

After the maintenance departments of airberlin have been split up on a geographical base for a few years, the AB Luftfahrttechnik Berlin GmbH, AB Luftfahrttechnik Dusseldorf GmbH and AB Luftfahrttechnik Cologne GmbH AB were merged on April 1 2011 into the airberlin technik GmbH. Today airberlin technik has about 1500 employees.
