The arrival of the airline\u2019s new flagship strengthens its Bavarian hub and accelerates the largest fleet modernization initiative in Lufthansa Group\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the weeks following the inaugural flight, the carrier will add Shanghai and Singapore to its long-haul network roster. All of these flights will feature the Allegris cabin interior and will operate on an alternating rotation between the A350-1000 and A350-900 variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heiko Reitz, Member of the Executive Board of Lufthansa Airlines and Head of the Munich Hub, emphasized the strategic importance of the aircraft type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud that the Airbus A350-1000, Airbus\u2019s most advanced long-haul aircraft, is coming to Munich.

Our new flagship delivers 40% more seats across Business and Premium Economy.
