Lufthansa Deploys A350 Long-Haul Aircraft From Frankfurt

New A350 Aircraft from Lufthansa

Lufthansa now offers flights from Frankfurt to various international destinations aboard the Airbus A350-900. Since the summer flight schedule began, four of these advanced and efficient aircraft have been operating from Frankfurt. An additional two will join the fleet in May and July. These aircraft have been in service on routes to Seoul and Shanghai since March 30. Denver will follow from May 1 and Seattle from July 1.

Jens Ritter, Chief Executive Officer Lufthansa Airlines: “With the temporary deployment of A350 aircraft from Frankfurt, we are closing a gap caused by delayed aircraft deliveries. Lufthansa’s state-of-the-art Airbus aircraft offer an improved travel experience from Frankfurt until new long-haul aircraft are delivered. Over the next 36 months, Lufthansa is expecting the largest fleet renewal in its history. By the end of 2027, 61 new aircraft are scheduled to be added to the fleet. This means an average of one new aircraft every two weeks.”

The A350-900 consumes about 2.5 liters of kerosene for every passenger over 100 kilometers of flight. This leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 30 percent compared to earlier models. Additionally, the aircraft operates much more quietly. Currently, there are 30 Airbus A350-900 in operation from Munich, with a further 14 expected to be added to the fleet by 2029. The aircraft featuring the new Allegris cabin are solely operated from Munich.
