Lufthansa has today announced that their first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner featuring the new Lufthansa Allegris cabin product has arrived in Frankfurt. The aircraft will enter scheduled service to Toronto this October.
On Saturday (August 30, 2025), Lufthansa announced the arrival of their first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner featuring the Allegris cabin product. The aircraft landed at Frankfurt Airport today from Seattle, Washington (U.S.), and features the new interior in all cabin classes. Initially, the newest member of the Lufthansa fleet will be deployed on flights from Frankfurt to Toronto, Canada, starting in mid-October. For the remainder of 2025, Lufthansa expects to receive up to nine more Boeing 787-9s at their largest hub in Frankfurt, about one new delivery every two weeks.
In Saturday’s announcement, Lufthansa Airlines’ CEO, Jens Ritter, said,
“I am particularly pleased that we can now offer our guests the premium Allegris experience in Frankfurt. With the arrival of the Boeing 787-9 today, the modernization of our long-haul fleet at our largest hub is now also receiving a major boost. This will enable us to use significantly quieter and fuel-efficient aircraft types featuring the latest technology for our guests in Frankfurt as well.”

On average, the state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner consumes about 2.5 liters of kerosene per passenger and 100 kilometers of flight distance, which is approximately 25 percent less than the aircraft it replaces. Lufthansa Airlines currently has 29 Boeing 787-9s on order. In total, the carrier expects to have 78 modern long-haul aircraft with Allegris in service over the next few years, representing the largest fleet modernization in the company’s history. Lufthansa Allegris has been available on long-haul flights from Munich since summer 2024, with over half a million passengers enjoying this travel experience in all classes since this time.
The Boeing 787-9 with Lufthansa Allegris offers travelers in Frankfurt a new, improved travel experience. Guests traveling in Lufthansa Business Class can now enjoy their own suite, which offers even more comfort and privacy due to chest-high walls, a 27 inch-monitor, and ample storage space. Additionally, each suite also has its own wardrobe and personal minibar. Business Class Suites, Premium Economy, and Economy Class are now available for booking, and as soon as the certification process for Allegris Business Class for Boeing Dreamliners is complete, these seats will also be available for booking.
