Lufthansa Group approved an order for 20 additional widebody aircraft split evenly between Airbus and Boeing as the airline group continues renewing its long-haul fleet.
The new order includes ten Airbus A350-900s and ten Boeing 787-9s, with deliveries scheduled between 2032 and 2034.
According to Lufthansa, the aircraft have a combined list price of about $7.7 billion.
The group already operates both aircraft types and still has a significant number of long-haul jets pending delivery from both manufacturers.
