For me, flying is a special experience like a celebration. The thrill remains every time I board a plane. My last 2 flights onboard Cathay Pacific and Philippine Airlines ✈️

I had the opportunity to visit Lufthansa Technik in the Philippines and witnessed probably the last heavy maintenance of Lufthansa A340-600. The LH A346 will be phased out after summer schedule if no further extension.

Seeing the inner workings of MRO is truly fascinating, a lot to tell in my upcoming vlog. Kudos to all technicians and engineers who make flying safe. ✈️
