Lufthansa continues to operate the world's largest active Boeing 747 passenger fleet, maintaining a significant presence of this iconic aircraft in its operations. As of February 2025, Lufthansa has 27 Boeing 747s, with 24 in service and three parked, according to PlaneSpotters.net.
The German airline operates two variants of the Boeing 747: the older 747-400 and the newer 747-8. The latter is noted for its modern technology, including improved aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. Lufthansa's CEO Carsten Spohr oversees an airline that has been committed to integrating these aircraft into its long-haul network since the 1990s.
Lufthansa's route network for the Boeing 747 connects major destinations across North America, Asia, and the Middle East from its hubs at Frankfurt Airport and Munich Airport. Notable routes include flights from Frankfurt to New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), Tokyo (NRT), and Dubai (DXB).
