Lufthansa Receives Its First Boeing 787 with Allegris Cabin
On Saturday morning, Lufthansa’s first Boeing 787-9 equipped with the new Allegris cabin landed at Frankfurt Airport, arriving from Seattle. This addition marks the beginning of a new era for passengers traveling from the German airline’s main hub.
Toronto, First Destination for the New 787-9
The aircraft will begin operating routes between Frankfurt and Toronto starting in mid-October. Lufthansa is scheduled to receive up to nine additional units of this model before the end of the year, meaning a delivery approximately every two weeks.
Jens Ritter, CEO of Lufthansa Airlines, emphasized the importance of this arrival:
“I am particularly pleased that we can now offer our customers the premium Allegris experience in Frankfurt as well. With the landing of the Boeing 787-9, the modernization of our long-haul fleet at our largest hub receives a decisive boost. This will allow us to operate much quieter and more fuel-efficient aircraft, equipped with the latest technology for our passengers in Frankfurt.”

Efficiency and Sustainability in the Air
The Boeing 787-9, known as the “Dreamliner,” is distinguished by its low fuel consumption: approximately 2.5 liters of kerosene per passenger every 100 kilometers of flight, representing a reduction of about 25% compared to its predecessor. Lufthansa has ordered a total of 29 units of this model. Overall, the company expects to have 78 long-haul aircraft with Allegris in the coming years, the largest fleet renewal in its history.
A Renewed Travel Experience with Allegris
The Allegris cabin raises the standard of comfort in all classes. In Business Class, passengers now enjoy private suites that offer greater privacy thanks to chest-high walls, 27-inch screens, ample storage space, individual closets, and a personal minibar.
Business, Premium Economy, and Economy Class seats are already available for booking, while the Allegris seats on the Boeing Dreamliner will become available as soon as the certification process is completed.
The Allegris product has already been in operation on long-haul flights from Munich since the summer of 2024. So far, over half a million travelers have enjoyed this experience across all classes.
