The headline numbers have been digested. What deserves a second look is the architecture of the decision itself: a precisely calibrated 10-and-10 split that says rather more about Carsten Spohr&#8217;s view of the duopoly than any press release will admit out loud.<\/p>\n\n<p>Lufthansa already operates one of the largest A350 fleets in Europe and the largest 787-9 order book in the works. The simple, brutal logic of fleet commonality says you pick a winner and concentrate. The discount terms get better. The pilot training simplifies. The MRO contracts consolidate. Spohr knows all of this. He chose, deliberately, not to do it.<\/p>\n\n<p>The 10-and-10 split is, in plain language, a hedge. And the hedge is aimed in one specific direction: Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f0f0f0;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:14px 18px;margin:20px 0 24px;border-radius:0 6px 6px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">Quick Facts<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.7\">\n<li><strong>Order approved:<\/strong> 11 May 2026 by Lufthansa Group supervisory board<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total aircraft:<\/strong> 20 widebodies \u2014 10 A350-900s + 10 Boeing 787-9s<\/li>\n<li><strong>List value:<\/strong> approximately $7.7 billion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delivery window:<\/strong> 2032-2034<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allocation:<\/strong> not yet decided among Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian, Brussels, ITA<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stated rationale:<\/strong> fleet renewal, fuel efficiency, CO\u2082 reduction<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unstated rationale:<\/strong> dual-supplier insurance against Boeing delivery risk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why a 10-10 Split and Not a Single-Type Bet<\/h2>\n\n<p>The economic case for fleet commonality is unambiguous. Pilots type-rated on one airframe cannot fly the other without expensive transition training. Spare parts, ground equipment, and maintenance contracts compound when fleets diverge. Every major carrier from Emirates (777-only) to ANA (787-heavy) has tried to push fleets toward concentration. The arithmetic of cost favours single-type orders.<\/p>\n\n<p>And yet, in 2026, the arithmetic of <em>risk<\/em> increasingly favours the opposite. Boeing has spent six years working through the 737 MAX crisis, the 787 production scandal at Charleston, the 777X certification delays (now pushed into 2027 at the earliest, with Emirates and Cathay openly grumbling), and the broader cultural mess that produced the door-plug episode in early 2024. Spohr remembers all of this. So does every airline planner working through long-cycle widebody decisions.<\/p>\n\n<p>The 10-and-10 split is, in effect, an insurance policy. If Boeing&#8217;s 787-9 deliveries slip \u2014 and they have, repeatedly \u2014 Lufthansa is not catastrophically exposed. The A350 half of the order keeps the renewal programme on track. If Airbus has a problem (and the A350 has had its own carbon-fibre paint and Qatar Airways episodes), the 787 fills the gap. The split costs Lufthansa some discount leverage. The split also lets Carsten Spohr sleep at night.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=436209631  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/boeing-787-9-dreamliner-fleet.jpg\" alt=\"Boeing 787-9 \u2014 half of the Lufthansa Group widebody bet\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Lufthansa has chosen the 787-9 over the 777X for half its new long-haul fleet \u2014 a verdict on Boeing&#8217;s production discipline as much as on the airframes themselves. Credit: Wikimedia Commons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The 787-9 over the 777X \u2014 A Quiet Verdict<\/h2>\n\n<p>The choice within the Boeing camp is itself worth a paragraph. Lufthansa picked the 787-9, not the 777-9. The 777X \u2014 once positioned as the natural successor to the 747 and the long-haul flagship Boeing needed \u2014 has had a difficult half-decade. Certification delays. Engine reliability questions on the GE9X. <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/boeing-777x-terrible-teens-stored-aircraft-airlines-reject-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\">Thirty test airframes rotting in storage while airlines refuse delivery.<\/a> Whatever the engineering merits of the 777-9, the commercial trust required for a 2026 widebody commitment was simply not there.<\/p>\n\n<p>The 787-9, by contrast, is a known quantity. The production hiccups of 2021-2023 are largely behind it. The aircraft is in service with sixty-plus operators. The economics on long-thin routes (the kind Lufthansa increasingly relies on: Frankfurt-Bangalore, Munich-Riyadh, Zurich-S\u00e3o Paulo) are excellent. It is, in 2026 terms, the boring, low-risk option. Boring is what Spohr wants right now.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;By ordering 20 additional long-haul aircraft, we are making a sustainable investment in the future of the Lufthansa Group \u2014 a clear commitment to a modern fleet and to premium quality.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Carsten Spohr<\/strong> &mdash; CEO, Lufthansa Group<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The SAS Question Looming in the Background<\/h2>\n\n<p>What very few European aviation reporters have written about, but every Lufthansa planner is calculating, is the SAS dimension. Scandinavian Airlines is expected to formally join the Lufthansa Group in the second half of 2026, pending regulatory clearance from Brussels. SAS currently operates a mixed widebody fleet \u2014 including A350s and A330s \u2014 that will need to be rationalised into the wider group network.<\/p>\n\n<p>The 10-and-10 order does not yet allocate aircraft to specific airlines. But the timing is hardly accidental. Deliveries from 2032 onward will arrive precisely when the post-integration SAS fleet plan needs new long-haul iron. The same logic applies to ITA Airways, the rebadged Alitalia that Lufthansa absorbed in 2024 and which is still working through its own widebody question. The Lufthansa Group of 2034 will be a different beast \u2014 six or seven flag carriers under one corporate umbrella, each with national-flag livery but shared fleet commonality where possible. That kind of group needs flexibility in fleet planning, and a 10-10 split delivers exactly that.<\/p>\n\n<p>So when the headline says &#8220;Lufthansa orders 20 widebodies,&#8221; the more honest version is: <em>the largest European airline group hedges its long-haul future against Boeing&#8217;s production discipline and Airbus&#8217;s delivery slots, while quietly building the spare capacity to absorb the next Scandinavian flag carrier into its constellation<\/em>. The 10-and-10 is not a compromise. It is, in Spohr&#8217;s patient and very Teutonic style, a strategic option pricing exercise dressed up as a fleet announcement. <em>Et c&#8217;est tr\u00e8s bien jou\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;font-style:italic\">Sources: Simple Flying, Lufthansa Group newsroom, AeroMorning, AeroTime, Aero News Journal, FlightGlobal, Runway Girl Network.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lufthansa Group supervisory board signed off on the 20-widebody order two weeks ago \u2014 ten Airbus A350-900s and ten Boeing 787-9s, $7.7 billion at list, deliveries 2032 through 2034.
