Lufthansa Group Orders 10 Airbus A350-900s and 10 Boeing 787-9s for 2032–2034 Delivery

Germany – Deutsche Lufthansa AG has placed a firm order for 20 new long-haul aircraft — ten Airbus A350-900s and ten Boeing 787-9s — with deliveries scheduled between 2032 and 2034, as the group continues what it describes as the largest fleet modernization in its history with direct implications for pilot type rating demand and crew training planning across its airline portfolio.

• The Lufthansa Group Supervisory Board approved the order, which brings the group's total order list to 232 aircraft, including 107 long-haul aircraft.
• The A350-900 and 787-9 will replace older, less efficient long-haul models from 2032, with the decision on which airline and hub within the Lufthansa Group will operate the ordered aircraft to be made at a later date. The group operates multiple carriers including Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings.

Statements

• "With the order of 20 additional long-haul aircraft, we are making a sustainable investment in the future of the Lufthansa Group. It is a clear commitment to a modern fleet, premium quality, and the further reduction of CO₂ emissions. Aircraft with the latest technology are the most effective lever for more climate-friendly air travel," said Carsten Spohr, CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG.
