Lufthansa has launched a major cabin refurbishment programme for its Airbus A380 fleet, introducing a next-generation Business Class with direct aisle access. The redesign enhances passenger comfort but slightly reduces both the number of seats and onboard cabin crew due to the new configuration.
Fleet refurbishment underway:
The airline is upgrading all eight A380 aircraft with a full cabin refresh.
New Business Class product:
The updated seats offer direct aisle access and improved privacy for long-haul travellers.
Reduced seat count:
The new layout lowers overall Business Class capacity to accommodate the more spacious design.
Cabin crew adjustment:
Fewer flight attendants will be required after the retrofit due to the revised seating configuration.
Passenger comfort focus:
The upgrade aligns with Lufthansa’s strategy to enhance premium travel experience on high-demand routes.
Part of long-haul revamp:
The A380 retrofit is a key element of the airline’s broader fleet modernisation plan.
