SINGAPORE, 16 November 2026: Lufthansa has taken delivery of its first A350-1000 aircraft, marking a historic moment as this aircraft also represents the 700th Airbus aircraft delivered across the entire Lufthansa Group.
The widebody jet carries a commemorative livery honouring ‘100 years of Lufthansa’.
The A350-1000 will feature the newest Lufthansa ‘Allegris’ cabin with 300 seats in first, business, premium economy and economy class. The aircraft will operate long-haul routes from its home base in Munich to destinations like Tokyo, Shanghai and Singapore.
Lufthansa Group flies the full spectrum of Airbus aircraft, including the A220, A320 Family, A330, A340, A350 Family, and A380. The airline also served as launch operator for the A321, A320neo, and A340-200.
The A350 is designed to fly up to 9,700 nautical miles / 18,000 kilometres nonstop, setting new standards for intercontinental travel. The aircraft includes state-of-the-art technologies and aerodynamics. Its latest-generation Rolls-Royce engines use lightweight materials to improve fuel burn and operating costs and reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions compared with previous-generation competitor aircraft.
