Lufthansa Group has placed an incremental order for five A350-1000s directly from Airbus, increasing its backlog for the type to 15 units.
The five additional aircraft will be delivered between 2028 and 2030. As is customary for the holding company, it did not reveal which of its airlines will operate the aircraft.
The A350-1000s will start delivering to the group in 2026. The first ten units were ordered in 2023.
The holding also has an order for sixty A350-900s, of which 28 are already in service with Lufthansa. Out of the remaining 32 units on order, ten will be allocated to Swiss. Edelweiss Air will take four units ordered directly by the group plus a further two ex-Thai Airways International units from Park Aerospace Holdings/Avolon.
