Eurowings will replace their fleet of Airbus A319’s and outdated A320 aircraft with new Boeing 737 MAX 8’s. The Lufthansa Group confirmed they will be allocating 40 new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft to the German low-cost carrier. This is part of the organisation’s new fleet modernisation, beginning in 2027 with the arrival of the 40 new aircraft.

Boeing 737 MAX 8 specifications

The 737 MAX family provides a more efficient, environmentally friendly and comfortable experience for passengers. The 737 MAX 8 reduces emissions and fuel usage by 20% and provides 50% less noise. The whole aircraft series also includes the Boeing Sky interior, providing LED lights and extra sound dampening for passengers. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 is capable of carrying between 162-178 passengers over a distance of 6,570 kilometers.

However, the Boeing 737 MAX series has been under scrutiny since its two devastating crashes in 2018 and 2019. The two crashes resulted in the deaths of 346 passengers due to a software flaw that took control away from the pilots. This error was fixed, and the FAA and Civil Aviation Authority have deemed Boeing 737 MAX planes safe to fly. Lufthansa had first placed the order for the 40 aircraft in December 2023, but announced on the 20th of January that Eurowings will be owning them.

Lufthansa’s largest fleet modernisation project

Ordering the 40 Boeing 737 MAX-8’s was just the beginning of the road for Lufthansa. The aviation group is expecting to begin the largest modernisation project in the company’s history by 2027. Alongside the 737 MAX-8’s, Lufthansa also ordered 40 Airbus A220-300’s. These will be used by their new airline, Lufthansa City Airline, and will arrive as early as 2026. They will primarily be used for short-haul flights from Frankfurt to Munich. Lufthansa has also secured 40 purchase options from the Airbus A320 family. Finally, the group is expecting at least 70 Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft to arrive. Jens Biscoff, CEO of Eurowings, stated:

“The largest investment in our company’s history shows that we are making rapid progress towards low-emission flying – through significantly lower fuel consumption, lower emissions and significantly less noise.”

With all the improvements coming in the next few years, the future is looking bright for the Lufthansa group.
