Frankfurt, May 31, 2023: On the occasion of naming Lufthansa’s fifth Boeing 787-9 on the name ‚Wiesbaden‘, Carsten Spohr, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, said: „The Boeing 787-9 sets standards in sustainability and comfort. It is one of the quietest and most economical long-haul aircraft in our fleet and offers all customers a premium flying experience.“
The 787-9 long-haul aircraft consume on average only about 2.5 litres of kerosene per passenger and 100 kilometres of flight. That is according to Lufthansa up to 40 per cent less than its predecessor, the A340.
Until 2027, the Lufthansa Group will receive a total of 39 Boeing ‚Dreamliners‘. Lufthansa currently operates five Boeing 787-9s. In the current summer timetable, destinations in Canada and the USA are served exclusively with this aircraft type: Austin (AUS), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Denver (DEN), Detroit (DTW) and Montréal (YUL).
