Boeing hopes to certify the necessary fixes soon and possibly restart deliveries later this summer season. The deliveries of 'some' of these 25 aircraft have been accelerated from 2024 to 2023, although Lufthansa did not disclose a detailed timeline.Īs it currently stands, the timeline for the induction of these aircraft is currently uncertain as all B787 deliveries have been paused due to manufacturing issues. Lufthansa Group previously ordered twenty-five B787-9s for distribution among its constituent carriers, including five whitetails opportunistically ordered in May 2021. The German airline said the seven B787s, which will deliver in 20, were assumed from other customers who will not be taking these units up.
Lufthansa (LH, Frankfurt International) has ordered seven incremental B787-9s and accelerated the deliveries of previously ordered aircraft of the type to compensate for the B777-9's delayed service entry.
