 Lufthansa Group orders new widebodies

On 11 May 2026, the Lufthansa Group's Supervisory Board approved orders for additional widebodies at both Airbus and Boeing. Both manufacturers will receive an order for ten aircraft; Airbus for ten A350-900s and Boeing for ten B787-9s.

Delivery of the additional aircraft is scheduled to take place between 2032 and 2034. Which airline in the group will receive the aircraft will be decided on a later stage.

Before this order, the Lufthansa Group held open orders with Airbus for 40 A220-300s, 24 A320neos, fifteen A321neos, 21 A350-900s, and fifteen A350-1000s. With Boeing, the airline Group has unfilled orders for 40 B737MAXs, 27 B777-9s, and 23 B787-9s.

 Ethiopian Airlines in talks for new Airbus-order

Bloomberg is reporting that Ethiopian Airlines is in talks with Airbus about a potential new order. According to the article, the talks are for six additional A350s but also for up to 20 A220s.

It's also said that the discussions are still in an early stage and that no final decisions have been made on the order and its potential size.

The order would be part of the country's aviation expansion plan. Not only is it growing state-owned carrier Ethiopian Airlines but it's also building a new airport near Bishoftu, 45 kilometers from Addis Ababa. The airport is planned to open in 2030 and will initially have a capacity to handle 60 million passengers per year, growing to 110 million passengers by 2036.

Last month, Ethiopian Airlines also announced an order for additional Boeing B787-9s.

AirAsia places largest Airbus A220-order ever

During a special event at the Airbus-plant in Mirabel on 6 May 2026, Airbus and AirAsia signed the largest order for the A220 ever. The event was attended by, of course, the CEOs of Airbus Commercial Aircraft and AirAsia, but also by the Prime Ministers of Canada and Quebec.

In total the airline has ordered 150 A220-300s, which will be outfitted with 160 seats. This is a new configuration which is possible by adding a second overwing emergency exit. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in 2028.

With this latest order, Airbus has now received more than 1,000 orders for the A220, of which currently 501 have been delivered to 25 operators.

The AirAsia Group, is an all-Airbus operator and currently has a fleet that is made-up of 167 A320s, 40 A320neos, three A321-200P2Fs, sixteen A321neos, and 30 A330-300s.
