Lufthansa Group has confirmed an order for 20 Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft, a decision approved by its supervisory board on September 17, 2026. The new Boeing jets are specifically slated to replace older Airbus A320-family aircraft currently in operation across the group's airlines. This move is particularly significant as Lufthansa has historically been a major and reliable Airbus customer in Europe.
The deliveries of the Boeing 737 MAX 10s are scheduled to commence in the early 2030s. While Lufthansa maintains a large backlog of Airbus aircraft orders, this specific decision to replace existing Airbus narrow-body jets with Boeing's offering represents a strategic win for the American manufacturer within the European market.
