Lufthansa fleet

Lufthansa operates a mainline fleet consisting of Airbus narrow and widebody and Boeing widebody aircraft.^[1]^[2] The mainline fleet is composed of seven different aircraft families: the Airbus A320 and A320neo, Airbus A330, Airbus A340, Airbus A350, Airbus A380, Boeing 747 and Boeing 787.

Additionally, Lufthansa currently has orders placed for further new Airbus A320neo, Airbus A350 and Boeing 777X series aircraft. In the following years, the 777X will replace all Boeing 747-400 aircraft in the fleet, and the 787 and A350 will replace all remaining Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft, respectively.^{[citation needed]}
