New Airbus single-aisle cabin enters service with Lufthansa

Airline Lufthansa has started operations with its first A320 Family aircraft – an A321neo – featuring Airbus’ new single-aisle Airspace cabin.

The airline is the first operator in Europe to introduce the new Airspace cabin features for passengers on board A320 family aircraft.

In 2018 Lufthansa Group, a long-time A320 customer, chose to equip more than 80 of its new A320 aircraft on order from Airbus with Airspace cabins.

The new cabin features include: slimmer sidewall panels for extra personal space at shoulder level; better views through the windows with their redesigned bezels and completely integrated window shades; the largest overhead bins for 60% more bags; the latest full LED lighting technologies; LED-lit ‘entrance area’; and new lavatories with hygienic touchless features and antimicrobial surfaces.

“Lufthansa has once again made a choice of innovation and passenger appeal, raising the bar for the flying public at large to experience next-level, Airbus leading cabin innovations”, said Christian Scherer, Airbus chief commercial officer and head of international. “I am delighted to welcome one of our long term partners, Lufthansa, to become the first European operator for the A320neo Family Airspace cabin. I can’t wait to fly on one of these aircraft.”

At the end of July 2021, the A320neo family had received more than 7,400 orders from over 120 customers globally.
