We offer four billing options. Please ensure to only use one of the options as sending your invoice/credit note via different channels (e.g. SPEC2000 & paper or e-invoice & PDF) leads to additional work and additional need for clarification.
Invoicing via Electronic Data Exchange
Various options are available for invoicing via electronic data exchange (EDI) such as SPEC2000, Aeroexchange, and IATA SIS. Invoicing via SPEC2000 / Aeroexchange offers the advantage of fast processing and low clarification requirements due to the standardization and the (EDI) interface.
Please ask your direct contact person if you are interested and require further information.
PDF Invoicing
Please send PDF invoices and their attachments to our dedicated e-mail inbox: LHT.LHTechnik@Invoice.Lufthansagroup.com.
Please do not send any reminders etc. to the above address, but use the contact options listed under Contact (see below) for content-related inquiries and reminders etc.
Attention: Only invoices with the correct Lufthansa Technik AG billing address will be accepted, you can find it in the next section.
All information/requirements about PDF invoices are summarized in the following information sheet:

All information/requirements about German e-invoices are summarized in the following information sheet. As the current requirements for e-invoices only apply to domestic B2B transactions, this information sheet is initially only available in German. PDF-Informationsblatt E-Rechnungen für Lieferanten
Hard Copy (Paper) Invoicing
Since invoicing by e-mail (PDF or e-invoice) usually allows faster processing and increases in traceability than sending hard copies as well as no additional costs for you, LHT prefers to receive invoices by e-mail (or invoices via electronic data exchange) instead of hard copies. If sending via e-mail/electronically is not possible (e.g. technical requirements cannot be met), please send hard copy invoices via mail to the following address:
Lufthansa Technik AG
HAM T/TA-A Invoice Control
Weg beim Jaeger 193
22335 Hamburg
Germany
