Lufthansa Group has allocated its order for 40 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft to its low-cost carrier, Eurowings. The decision marks a significant fleet modernization for the German airline, with the first delivery expected in 2027.
In a statement, Eurowings highlighted that this move is "one of the largest fleet modernizations in European aviation." By 2032, Boeing is scheduled to complete all deliveries. The new aircraft will gradually replace Eurowings' existing Airbus A319ceo and A320ceo planes, offering more seating capacity.
The investment is valued at around five billion dollars at list price, making it "the largest and most expensive sustainability project in the more than 30-year history of Eurowings," according to the airline. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 promises fuel savings and reduced emissions compared to the older models.
