A new flagship for Lufthansa and even more premium capacity from Munich: On 3 December 2026, the Airbus A350-1000 will operate its first scheduled Lufthansa flight from Munich to Tokyo Haneda. Shanghai and Singapore will follow as additional destinations in the weeks ahead.
All three destinations will feature Lufthansa Allegris, with flights operated by a mix of A350-1000 and A350-900 aircraft.
More premium capacity
The Airbus A350-1000 further strengthens the premium offer at the Lufthansa Munich hub. With 49 Business Class seats and 35 Premium Economy Class seats, the new aircraft offers significantly more premium capacity.
First Class is also part of the Lufthansa Allegris experience. Depending on the configuration, the aircraft will offer three or four First Class seats, including two individual suites and one Suite Plus.
A new flagship for Lufthansa
At 73.80 meters (242 feet) long, the Airbus A350-1000 is seven meters longer than the Airbus A350-900. Its introduction is part of the largest fleet modernization program in Lufthansa Group history and supports the transition to a more modern and sustainable fleet.
Lufthansa Group has ordered a total of 15 A350-1000 aircraft, with deliveries planned through 2030. The first ten aircraft are designated for Lufthansa and will be based at the airline’s Munich hub.
