Lufthansa’s first A350 XWB destinations to be Boston and Delhi
Lufthansa will base the first of 10 Airbus A350-900s at its second major hub in Munich from Jan 2017. Delhi and Boston are expected to be the first destinations. “This goes hand-in-hand with the opening of our terminal extension, the new satellite facility at Munich Airport,” executive board chairman and CE Carsten Spohr said recently. The Terminal 2 expansion project started in April 2012. The E650m (US$856.8m) investment will be shared 60:40 between airport owners FMG and Lufthansa. “The new satellite facility will be commissioned April 26, 2016,” FMG CE Michael Kerkloh confirmed. The additional handling capacity for a total of 11m passengers per year will boost the overall capacity of Terminal 2 to 36m. Lufthansa has ordered 25 Rolls-Royce Trent powered Airbus A350-900 aircraft, valued at $310m each at list price. <br/>
