The order covers 10 Airbus A350-900s and 10 Boeing 787-9s, with deliveries scheduled between 2032 and 2034.<\/p>\n<p>The Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG first decided on the order, which the Supervisory Board then approved at its latest meeting. The highly efficient twin-engine long-haul jets represent a consistent step toward greater efficiency and sustainability across the group\u2019s network.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/img_7598-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Lufthansa Group Orders 20 New Airbus and Boeing Aircraft Worth $7.7 Billion\" class=\"wp-image-122296\"  data-\/>Photo: Lufthansa<\/p>\n<p>Lufthansa Group Expands Fleet With 20 New Widebodies<\/p>\n<p>The Executive Board selected a balanced split between the two leading widebody manufacturers.

The aircraft will replace older and less efficient models starting in 2032.<\/p>\n<p>The Lufthansa Group will decide at a later date which airline and which hub will operate the new jets.<\/p>\n<p>Carsten Spohr, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, stated that the order represents a sustainable investment in the future of the Lufthansa Group.<\/p>\n<p>He described it as a clear commitment to a modern fleet, to premium quality, and to further reducing carbon dioxide emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Spohr added that aircraft featuring the latest technology are the most powerful tool for more climate-friendly air travel.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the state-of-the-art Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 are more fuel-efficient, quieter, and have lower emissions than their respective predecessors.<\/p>\n<p>The order continues what the group describes as the largest fleet modernization in its history.<\/p>\n<p><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/41859490652_d8ceff4b09_h-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Lufthansa Group Orders 20 New Airbus and Boeing Aircraft Worth $7.7 Billion\" class=\"wp-image-85456\"  data-\/>Photo: Cl\u00e9ment Alloing<\/p>\n<p>Efficiency and Sustainability Benefits<\/p>\n<p>The Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-9 are positioned as highly efficient twin-engine long-haul jets.<\/p>\n<p>Both types deliver lower fuel burn, reduced noise, and lower emissions than the aircraft they will replace.<\/p>\n<p>Lower fuel consumption directly translates into reduced carbon dioxide output. The new generation widebodies support the group\u2019s stated sustainability commitments and form part of its long-term environmental strategy.<\/p>\n<p><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Viasat_Lufthansa_Group_Airlines-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-134869\"  data-\/>Photo: Lufthansa Group<\/p>\n<p>Fleet Standardization and Operational Gains<\/p>\n<p>The gradual standardization of the fleet reduces complexity and increases efficiency, operational flexibility, and operational stability.<\/p>\n<p>A more uniform fleet allows the group to streamline daily operations across its member airlines.<\/p>\n<p>Maintenance and operating costs will also be reduced as a result. Further synergies will arise in areas such as cockpit and cabin crew licensing and spare parts management.<\/p>\n<p>These benefits are particularly valuable for a multi-carrier group, where shared aircraft types simplify crew deployment, training, and technical support across hubs.<\/p>\n<p><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/netherlands\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/0d0a7331edit1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-126654\"  data-\/>Photo: Lufthansa<\/p>\n<p>Total Order Backlog<\/p>\n<p>Including today\u2019s order, the Lufthansa Group currently has a total of 232 state-of-the-art aircraft on its order list.
