Lufthansa Group has approved a firm order for 10 additional Airbus A350-900 aircraft, extending its long-haul fleet renewal program and increasing its commitment to Airbus’s twin-engine widebody family. The aircraft are scheduled for delivery between 2032 and 2034.
The new order comes alongside 10 additional Boeing 787-9s, underscoring Lufthansa’s strategy of replacing older four-engine long-haul aircraft with newer, more fuel-efficient models. The group has said its A350 and 787 aircraft are intended to phase out aircraft such as the Airbus A340 family and the Boeing 747-400 still in service.
With this latest decision, Lufthansa continues to build one of the largest A350 fleets among global airlines. The A350-900 is already a central part of the group’s intercontinental network, and Lufthansa has presented the type as a key element of its modernization and decarbonization plans.
The order also adds to Lufthansa Group’s long-haul pipeline at a time when the company is working to simplify its fleet structure and secure capacity well into the next decade.
