At this year’s Innovation Roadshow at the Lufthansa Aviation Center, teams from across the Lufthansa Group presented their forward-looking ideas and technological concepts.

Lufthansa Technical Training showcased MAINTAIN360 – a VR project currently under development that demonstrates how immersive technologies can support more modern and efficient maintenance training in the future. The aim is to make complex processes more tangible and to enable flexible access to knowledge.

The level of interest was high: numerous discussions explored the potential of virtual reality in training, along with valuable feedback and impulses for the further development of the project.

The conclusion of the event was clear: immersive technologies are gaining increasing relevance – both within the Lufthansa Group and across the wider aviation industry.

The VR-based training project MAINTAIN360 was recognized as one of the Top 3 finalists in the Hands-on Innovation category at this year’s Lufthansa Group Innovator Award – a significant milestone for the Lufthansa Technical Training (LTT) innovation team.

The annual award honors projects that advance the Lufthansa Group through innovative ideas, creative approaches, and tangible added value.

During the award ceremony at the Lufthansa Seeheim Hotel, the one-minute pitch video for MAINTAIN360 was presented on the main stage, powerfully demonstrating how immersive technology can make technical training more intuitive, efficient, and accessible.

The recognition underscores the strong potential of Virtual Reality to sustainably transform training and qualification in aviation maintenance.

The event also provided valuable opportunities for exchange with innovation colleagues and leaders from across the Lufthansa Group, offering important momentum for the further development of MAINTAIN360.

MAINTAIN360 remains a key building block on the path toward the future of technical training.
