The group have ordered five more Airbus A350-1000s, bringing the total combined orders of A350-900s and A350-1000s to 75.  The newest order is an important step towards the group achieving its goals of fleet modernisation, produce enhancement and CO₂ reduction.

One of the Largest A350 Customers Worldwide

28 of the 75 aircraft ordered are already in scheduled service, with the remaining 47 to be delivered by 2030. With a total order value of two billion US dollars at list price, the 60 A350-900s and 15 A350-1000s make Lufthansa Group one of the largest A350 customers globally.

Carsten Spohr, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG said:

“Our today’s order underscores our great confidence in our long-standing, close and successful partnership with Airbus. With the state-of-the-art A350 long-haul jets, we are accelerating the largest fleet modernization in our history. We are investing more than ever before in our history to make air transport more sustainable, to achieve our CO₂ reduction targets and at the same time offer our customers the highest level of comfort with a first-class travel experience.

Throughout its history, the Lufthansa Group has ordered 770 aircraft from Airbus, making it the largest customer worldwide.

Long-Term Goal of Emissions Reduction

 

Lufthansa Group has approximately 250 new, fuel-saving aircraft on its order list, including 100 long-haul aircraft of the latest design. The highly efficient aircraft will help the group meet its long-term strategies of quality, cost efficiency and emissions reduction. In the medium term, the twin-engine long-haul jets are set to replace four-engine aircraft models that are gradually being phased out.

The latest additions to the Lufthansa fleet consume up to 35% less fuel consumption and correspondingly less CO₂ than their predecessors.

The group aims to halve its net CO₂ emissions by 2030 compared to 2019. By 2050, it hopes to achieve a neutral CO₂ balance.
