Lufthansa Technik (LHT) has appointed Blanca Burgos as Managing Director of Lufthansa Technik Puerto Rico and Johannes Rotter as Managing Director of Lufthansa Technik Budapest, strengthening leadership across its global base maintenance network.
Burgos has led the company’s Aguadilla-based operations since September 2026. She joined from FEAM Aero, where she served as Director of Account Management, and brings more than 30 years of MRO experience, including technical and leadership roles at Delta Air Lines. She succeeds Joerg Speri, who has moved to Austrian Airlines as Vice President of its Technical Division.
Rotter took charge of Lufthansa Technik Budapest in August 2026 after more than 20 years at Austrian Airlines, where he most recently served as Head of Maintenance. His experience includes aircraft maintenance, engineering, operational excellence, digitalisation and international project management. He succeeds Thoralf Wagner, who has joined SWISS as Head of Technical Fleet Management.
Lufthansa Technik said the appointments will support its focus on customer requirements, operational performance and service quality. In Puerto Rico, priorities include expanding FAA capabilities and strengthening its presence across the Americas, while the Budapest facility will focus on further improving operational efficiency and maintaining high service standards.
