Lufthansa has taken delivery of
its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The 787-9 delivered is the first of 32 Boeing 787
aircraft the Lufthansa Group has on order.
"With the Boeing 787, we are introducing another
modern aircraft type that is one of the most fuel-efficient
long-haul aircraft in our fleet," said Jens Ritter, CEO Lufthansa
Airlines. "This will allow us to significantly further improve the
average CO2 balance. This aircraft is sustainable and offers
customers a premium flying experience."
Lufthansa Boeing 787-9
Since revenue service began in 2011, the 787
family has launched more than 325 new nonstop routes around the
world, including approximately 50 routes opened since 2020. The
787-9 can fly 296 passengers up to 7,565 nautical miles (14,010
km) in a typical two-class configuration.
Using 25% less fuel and creating 25% fewer
emissions than the airplanes they replace, the 787 family has
avoided more than 125 billion pounds of carbon emissions since
entering service in 2011.
"Today's delivery to the Lufthansa Group is a
significant milestone for both companies as we resume European 787
deliveries and Lufthansa receives its first 787. I am delighted to
see Lufthansa join a growing set of airlines worldwide operating
the industry's most capable twin-engine airplane," said Stan Deal,
president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "With unmatched
fuel efficiency and huge passenger appeal, the 787 will play an
integral role in the Lufthansa Group's long-haul network."
In addition to 32 787 Dreamliners on order, the
Lufthansa Group has firm orders for 20 777-9 passenger airplanes
and recently placed a firm order for seven of the new 777-8
Freighter.
