The Lufthansa Supervisory Board
has approved orders for seven Airbus A340-600 long-haul jets.
The new aircraft are scheduled for delivery in 2006 and 2007. The orders are fully in line with capacity planning
for the Airbus A380, which will begin joining the fleet from the end of 2007. Besides replacing existing aircraft, the
new A340-600s will equip the airline with the capacity required to accommodate forecasted demand in the next
few years.
Wolfgang
Mayrhuber, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO Deutsche Lufthansa AG: “Our quality product is
convincing more customers, daily. In harness with our partners, we are gearing for systematic growth. Our two
hubs in Frankfurt and Munich offer further perspectives in long-haul traffic. Lufthansa is intent on strengthening
its strategic position and making the most of its opportunities. Its overriding aim, however, is to achieve
profitable and market-driven growth.”
