Lufthansa Deploys A350 on Long-Haul Routes From Frankfurt

Lufthansa passengers can now fly from Frankfurt to a number of international destinations with the Airbus A350-900. Four of these state-of-the-art and efficient aircraft have been deployed from Frankfurt since the start of the summer flight schedule.

Two more will be added in May and July. The aircraft have been in service on routes to Seoul and Shanghai since March 30. Denver will follow from May 1 and Seattle from July 1.

The A350-900 uses only approximately 2.5 liters of kerosene per passenger and 100 kilometers of flight. This reduces CO2 emissions by up to 30% compared to previous models. The aircraft is also significantly quieter.

There are currently 30 Airbus A350-900 in service from Munich, with 14 more aircraft of this type expected to join the fleet by 2029. A350 aircraft with the new Allegris cabin are operated exclusively from Munich.
