Lufthansa welcomed its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in Frankfurt as part of its fleet modernisation plan. Nine more aircraft are expected to be delivered by the end of the year.

Lufthansa Welcomes First Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to Frankfurt Hub

A new Boeing 787-9 landed at Frankfurt Airport from Seattle, WA, today, and became the newest member of the Lufthansa fleet.

The new aircraft is expected to begin its service between Frankfurt to Toronto, Canada, from mid-October.

The newly arrived Dreamliner is part of Lufthansa‘s fleet modernisation plan. The airline is expecting nine more Boeing 787-9s to be delivered at Frankfurt, the largest hub of the airline, by the end of 2025.

In total, the airline has ordered 29 Boeing 787-9s, and it is expecting to build a fleet with 78 modern long-haul aircraft with Allegris on board in the upcoming years.

Energy Efficiency and Enhanced Passenger Comfort

The new Boeing 787-9 is expected to bring improvement in energy consumption.

The model is only expected to consume around 2.5 litres of kerosene per passenger on average, and 100 kilometres of flight distance. It is about 25% less compared to the predecessor model.

The new aircraft is also expected to offer a better travel experience for travellers.

The aircraft has an individual suite for each passenger who travels in Business Class with chest-high walls, a 27-inch monitor, and ample storage space. A wardrobe and personal minibar will also be offered for every suite.

Lufthansa Airlines CEO Jens Ritter said:

“With the arrival of the Boeing 787-9 today, the modernisation of our long-haul fleet at our largest hub is now also receiving a major boost. This will enable us to use significantly quieter and fuel-efficient aircraft types featuring the latest technology for our guests in Frankfurt as well.”
