Lufthansa Group has placed orders for 22 widebody aircraft, including the carrier's first ten A350-1000s, as well as an incremental five A350-900s and seven B787-9s.

"With our purchase of 22 further Airbus A350s and Boeing B787s, we have secured the delivery of more than 50 latest-generation long-haul aircraft for the member airlines of the Lufthansa Group since the pandemic began. These aircraft will be equipped with our new long-haul cabins, including the latest-generation seats in all classes of travel," Chief Executive Carsten Spohr said.
