Lufthansa likes to pit its two most important airports against each other when it comes to which airport offers the crane the best conditions. Initially, Lufthansa said that the four planes would be stationed in Munich next year. After a company spokeswoman has revised this statement, the decision has now been made: the four A350s are coming to Munich.
Albert Füracker, Bavarian Finance Minister and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Munich Airport Company FMG, comments on the decision: “All travelers and the entire southern German economic area will benefit from the expansion of the direct connections from Bavaria’s gateway to the world to the major cities around the world Munich Airport with its particularly fuel-saving and low-emission long-haul aircraft is also very good news for all Bavarian companies that depend on fast and reliable international connections. “
“This is an extremely important signal, especially in the current crisis,” added Jost Lammers, Chairman of the FMG Management Board: “With its total of 21 Airbus A350s, Lufthansa can offer even more long-haul flights at its Bavarian hub and thus excellent global connections With the start of the upcoming summer flight schedule, Lufthansa will serve two highly attractive long-haul destinations directly from Munich for the first time, namely San Diego and Rio de Janeiro, and will also fly to Bangkok again. “
A350 are coming from Philippine Airlines
The long-haul jets are expected to arrive in the first half of 2022. The machines were most recently in use for Philippine Airlines. Lufthansa does not want to make any major changes to the machines. This means that the seating for 30 business class, 25 premium economy class and 241 seats in economy is retained.

Originally, all A350 types in the fleet were stationed in Munich. As a result of the Corona crisis, Lufthansa concentrated its long-haul routes at Frankfurt Airport and relocated a total of eight aircraft from the Isar to the Main. So it looked like Frankfurt Airport would get a medium-term option on the A350. With four more aircraft, the A350 fleet grows to 21 aircraft.
Lufthansa has ordered a total of 45 aircraft of this type from Airbus. “In addition, we are currently negotiating with the airports about the conditions for stationing the further A350s,” said a spokeswoman for airliners.de. The crane expects the next machines from the order from 2023.
Dreamliners are coming to Frankfurt
The first Boeing 787, which the crane will take over by next spring at the latest, will be stationed in Frankfurt, as CEO Spohr told journalists in Frankfurt on Friday.
