Lufthansa Group is all set to deploy its newest long-haul aircraft, the Airbus A350-900 to India’s financial capital during the summer schedule of 2017. Mumbai, from April 16 onwards would become the third destination worldwide to welcome the aircraft. Flying on Lufthansa’s Munich (MUC) to Mumbai (MUM) route, the A350-900 will offer Mumbai area residents travel choices and better connections to Lufthansa’s global network.

Lufthansa Group had recently marked a key milestone in Indian aviation by starting the first commercial operations of A350-900 to Delhi.

The A350-900 aircraft is one of the world’s most environmentally friendly long-haul aircraft and in comparison with similar types of aircraft it consumes 25% less fuel and produces 25% fewer emissions. The aircraft is configured to seat 293 passengers with 48 in Business Class, 21 in Premium Economy and 224 in Economy Class.

Additionally, Lufthansa is the first airline worldwide to use a range of different settings for the onboard lighting of the A350-900 which have designed to fit with the day and night-time biorhythms of the passengers by providing the right type of light at the right time. Altogether, the new A350-900 LED technology can provide around 24 different lighting settings.
