Lufthansa has received certification for 25 Allegris Business Class seats on the Boeing 787-9.
On Sunday, the Dreamliner with registration number D-ABPM and the name “Potsdam” flew from Frankfurt to Toronto with 25 certified seats in Business Class. The remaining eight 787-9s equipped with Allegris are also already in service with approved seats as of last Monday, or will take off by today (Wednesday) at the latest.
In the winter flight schedule, the Dreamliner currently flies from Frankfurt to Rio de Janeiro, Bogotá, Austin, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Toronto. When the summer schedule begins on March 29, the 787-9 will fly to Austin, Rio de Janeiro, Bogotá, Cape Town, Shanghai, Hyderabad, and Hong Kong. Starting in June, the destinations will include New York JFK and Los Angeles, followed by Delhi in July.
When booking, travellers now also have the option to select special Allegris seats in Business Class. Reserving a Classic Seat remains free of charge; this seat offers all the benefits of the new travel class. Optionally, passengers can also book seats with additional comfort (the Business Class Suite, the Extra Space Seat with extra legroom, the Privacy Seat by the window, and the Extra Long Bed with a 2.20-meter reclining surface) in advance via the seat reservation system for an additional fee.
Since October 9, 2025, Allegris has been flying the Boeing 787-9 out of Frankfurt. Currently, ten brand-new aircraft have arrived in Frankfurt, nine of which are currently in service. In total, Lufthansa Airlines plans to have 29 Boeing 787-9s by the end of 2027.
