COLOGNE-<\/strong> Lufthansa (LH)<\/a> is preparing to fly its first Boeing\u202f787\u20119 Dreamliner equipped with its new Allegris cabin<\/a> into service soon. However, only four business class suites will be operational at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This might make it “the most exclusive business class cabin on any global airline,” said One Mile at A Time<\/a>. This update comes at a time when most business class seats operated by the carrier haven’t been certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa 787 Allegris Cabin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Allegris cabin concept, which is already in use on some Airbus A350s, features a new premium interior across all classes, including business class suites with doors, high privacy partitions, and modern amenities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 787\u20119 aircraft, Lufthansa plans a three\u2011class layout: 28 business class seats, 28 premium economy, and 231 economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But due to delays in seat certification with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, only the four business class suites in the first row will initially be available for booking. The remaining business seats will be blocked until full approval is obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa says the move is strategic: by starting operations early with limited business class availability, it can begin training pilots and crew on the new aircraft and cabin systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline hopes full certification for all business seats will be achieved by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launch Routes and Fleet Plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first Allegris\u2011fitted 787 will be deployed on a Frankfurt\u2013Toronto route between October 8 and October 24, 2025. More 787s with Allegris cabins are expected to join Lufthansa\u2019s Frankfurt hub fleet by year’s end, as many as nine additional aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As more 787s roll out, Lufthansa plans to gradually phase in more routes under the Allegris branding. By 2026, it aims for over 20 Dreamliners outfitted with the new cabin concept in operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial restriction on business class seats may affect revenue on some routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa intends to use its delivery schedule and choice of route (e.g., routes with lower business class demand) to mitigate the impact until full certification is in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
