A spokesperson for the German flagship carrier Lufthansa announced this week that the company will collaborate with Israel’s Elbit Systems on military drones through its maintenance subsidiary, Lufthansa Technik. The website stated that the companies signed a memorandum of understanding in January of this year, but a formal contract has yet to be signed. The project involves an offer to deliver and maintain up to eight Israeli Hermes 900 Starliner drones for the German Navy. Lufthansa Technik will be responsible for maintenance and staff training, while Elbit will oversee the production of the drones. The project's value was not disclosed by either side. This marks the first military drone project for the subsidiary of the German flagship carrier. Its defense business includes servicing and maintaining NATO's staple aircraft, such as the F-35 fighter jets, the Chinook transport helicopters, and the Poseidon reconnaissance planes.
