Lufthansa Group has announced it has firmed options for twenty-seven A320neo Family narrowbodies, including twenty-four A320neo and three A321neo. The deliveries are scheduled for 2023 and 2024.
Out of the twenty-seven units, ten - including seven A320neo and all three A321neo - will be delivered to Swiss (LX, Zurich). The remaining seventeen units will operate for other units of the group, which have so far not been named.
Including the newly firmed options, Lufthansa Group ordered a total of 149 A320neo Family aircraft. Prior to the new announcement, the group's order book with Airbus included sixty-seven A320neo and forty A321neo for Lufthansa (LH, Frankfurt Int'l), as well as ten A320neo and five A321neo for Swiss.
Of these, thirteen A320neo are already operated by Lufthansa. The German carrier will shortly take delivery of its maiden A321neo, while Swiss will start accepting its A320neo in 2019.
Lufthansa still also has nine current generation A320-200s on order with Airbus.
