Lufthansa Nears Decision on Major Widebody Order as First Boeing 777-9 Prepares for Flight
The Lufthansa Group is reportedly close to finalizing a significant new order for widebody aircraft. The airline is evaluating both the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A350 for the deal, which could range between 20 and 40 jets. This strategic fleet decision is aimed at replacing older, less efficient aircraft within the group's long-haul fleet. The news emerges as Lufthansa's first Boeing 777-9, registered D-ABTA, is preparing for its inaugural customer flight. This milestone comes after years of production delays for the 777X program, with airline deliveries now anticipated to begin in 2025.
