Hesse's Minister President Boris Rhein officially named a new Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 “Frankfurt am Main” at Frankfurt Airport. The aircraft, known as a “Dreamliner,” is the first long-haul Lufthansa plane at the Frankfurt hub to feature the new Allegris cabin concept. This upgrade brings improved comfort across all travel classes, introducing new seating, high-quality materials, and advanced technology.
Carsten Spohr, CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, stated: "This Boeing 787-9 is another milestone in our consistent fleet modernization journey. I am delighted that we can now also offer Allegris to guests at our largest hub. The new “Frankfurt am Main” not only carries the name of its home into the world: it also represents billions in investment in the premium experience at the Frankfurt hub."
Boris Rhein, Minister President of Hesse, said: "As one of the largest employers in Hesse, Lufthansa is a significant economic driver. It is one of the leading international airlines and builds bridges between people from all over the world. The relationship between Hesse and Lufthansa is particularly strong and based on trust and partnership. I am therefore more than honored to have the privilege of christening an aircraft for the second time with the name ‘Frankfurt am Main’. It is a wonderful tradition that Lufthansa aircraft carry the names of cities and regions as flying ambassadors around the world."
