German Carrier Upgrades Seating On A380, A350, And 747-8 Aircraft
Lufthansa has announced plans for the most extensive fleet renewal in its history, including upgrades to seating on its Airbus A380s, A350-900s, and Boeing 747-8s. The retrofit program will begin in February 2026 at Elbe Flugzeugwerke in Dresden, with the first A380, ‘Mike-Charly’, being the first to be upgraded. Each new A380 business seat will feature direct aisle access, increased seat width, and flexible partitions. The upgrade is expected to enhance the travel experience for Lufthansa’s passengers, with all eight A380s expected to be fully retrofitted by mid-2027. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
