Big airline Lufthansa now planning new aircraft order. CEO Carsten Spohr say decision coming very soon, maybe in few weeks. This is big step for future flights.
Company still thinking between Airbus and Boeing. New planes will come late, around year 2033. So long wait but important planning.
Right now Lufthansa already have many orders. This include planes like Airbus A350-900, Airbus A350-1000, Boeing 787-9 and Boeing 777X. But problem is many old planes still flying and need replace soon.
Old aircraft like Airbus A340-600 will stop after 2026 summer. Also Boeing 747-400 still flying but will retire later. Other airlines in group also changing old fleet.
There are delays also. New 777X coming late in 2027. Some issue with 787 seats also causing delay. This make airline wait more.
Recently Lufthansa sell two Boeing 747-8 for $400 million. These planes will use in United States Air Force for training. Money can help airline buy new planes faster.
CEO also say maybe Lufthansa will use more big planes in future. Big aircraft like Airbus A380 and 747-8 will still fly until 2030s.
Overall, Lufthansa now in final step to choose new widebody aircraft. Big decision coming soon for aviation world.
