The Lufthansa Group has announced the expansion of its fleet with additional Airbus long-haul aircraft, increasing its firm orders for A350-1000 aircraft from ten to 15. These state-of-the-art aircraft are scheduled for delivery between 2028 and 2031, with the total order valued at approximately two billion US dollars at list price. This acquisition will bring Lufthansa's total to 60 A350-900s and 15 A350-1000s, positioning the group as one of the largest A350 customers globally.
Carsten Spohr, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, stated: "Our order today underscores our great confidence in our long-standing, close and successful partnership with Airbus. With the state-of-the-art A350 long-haul jets, we are accelerating the largest fleet modernization in our history. We are investing more than ever before in our history to make air transport more sustainable, to achieve our CO₂ reduction targets and at the same time offer our customers the highest level of comfort with a first-class travel experience."
Including this latest purchase, Lufthansa Group has ordered a total of 770 aircraft from Airbus over its history and is recognized as Airbus' largest customer worldwide. The integration of ITA Airways into Lufthansa Group Airlines in January will add another 100 short- and long-haul aircraft to its Airbus fleet.
