New Long-Haul Era: Lufthansa Receives 1st A350-1000 & 700th Airbus Jet Overall

Lufthansa has officially taken delivery of its first example of the Airbus A350-1000. The Cologne-based German flag carrier and Star Alliance founding member already flies the standard Airbus A350-900 model, and it is now starting a new era of long-haul flying as the stretched A350-1000 enters the fray. This delivery had extra significance as it also represented the airline’s 700th Airbus jet overall.
