The Lufthansa Group will receive its first A350-900 next month, with the aircraft’s first flight set to take off for Delhi (India) in February.
Once Lufthansa has taken ownership of the aircraft, the A350 will be transferred to Munich during the week leading up to Christmas. Lufthansa Technik in Munich will then install the cabin interior including the new premium economy class as well as other features.
“We have made further improvements to key components of the A350’s cabin interior. These include a newly designed self-service area in business class, new seats with ergonomically designed cushions in economy class, larger screens in all classes and improved broadband internet services”, says Thomas Winkelmann, CEO of the Munich Hub.
From February onwards, Lufthansa will station the first 10 A350s in Munich. The first flight destinations are Delhi and Boston (USA). The aircraft will have space for 293 passengers – 48 in business class, 21 in premium economy and 224 in the regular economy class section.
