Lufthansa’s new A350-900 has been presented to the public in Munich with a spectacular light show and an official unveiling ceremony in the Lufthansa Technik Hangar.

A media show with light projections served as a 10-minute “fireworks”. In the presence of 2,000 employees and guests, the world’s most advanced long-haul aircraft was then christened and named after city of Nuremberg.

As of 10 February, Lufthansa will be stationing the first ten Airbus A350-900 aircraft in Munich. The aircraft’s first destinations will be Delhi and Boston. The aircraft will accommodate 293 passengers – 48 in Business Class, 21 in Premium Economy and 224 in Economy Class.

The A350-900 is the world’s most advanced and most environmentally friendly long-haul aircraft. It uses 25 percent less kerosene, produces 25 percent fewer emissions and is significantly quieter on take-off than comparable types of aircraft.
