Lufthansa orders up to 16 Airbus and Boeing aircraft
The Lufthansa Group will order up to 16 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing in a deal valued at E2.1b (US$2.5b) at list prices. The orders include up to 12 Airbus A320 family aircraft for Lufthansa Group carriers, 2 Boeing 777-300ERs for Swiss and 2 777 Freighters for Lufthansa Cargo, the carrier says. The Lufthansa Group board approved the deals Monday. The A320 family order is split between up to 6 A320s that will be delivered "depending on availability" this year to offset A320neo delays, and the conversion of 6 A320neo options to firm orders with deliveries in 2022. Swiss will take the 777-300ERs in 2020 and use them for growth. Lufthansa Cargo will use the 777Fs to replace ageing Boeing MD-11s. Not including the latest deal, Lufthansa Group has firm orders for 61 A320neos, 45 A321neos and 20 777-9Xs. <br/>
