The Lufthansa operates the 787-9s as part of its long-haul fleet, with deliveries beginning in 2022 and expanding into service on routes such as FRA to Newark and FRA–Toronto as the fleet modernizes. The airframes feature Lufthansa's Allegris in updated aircraft, aiming for enhanced comfort, lower fuel burn, and quieter operation, alongside a shift from older wide-bodies as part of a broader fleet renewal plan. The airline has publicly discussed a multi-aircraft order strategy involving 787-9s and A350-900s to modernize long-haul capacity across its group, with deployment decisions on specific hubs to be determined later.
