Aviation History

The Boeing 787-9 is a next-generation, long-range, fuel-efficient widebody, highly notable for its extensive use of composites and advanced systems. Lufthansa began operating the 787-9 in 2022, and this is one of their first Dreamliners.

Fleet Rarity

Lufthansa operates only a handful of 787-9s as of 2024, making this relatively rare within their fleet, but the 787-9 is a widely operated type globally.

Record Flights

Used on Lufthansa’s premium intercontinental routes; typical missions do not include world record flights, but the 787-9 as a type operates some of the world\'s longest commercial flights.

Safety & Events

No known major incidents with Lufthansa’s 787-9s as of mid-2024. The Dreamliner family has had some battery/fire issues in early years, but not specific to this frame.

Future Outlook

Active in Lufthansa’s long-haul fleet as of 2024, expected to remain in service for at least a decade.
