Lufthansa Adds First 787-9 Dreamliner for U.S. Routes
Lufthansa has taken delivery of its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, marking a major step in the airline’s long-haul fleet renewal strategy.

What? Lufthansa took delivery of its first 787 in 2022. It has been seasonally flying it from FRA-DTW since early 2023.
787 has up to 100 or so fewer seats. They're going to need to work these aircraft much harder than the Airbus or are they hoping the 777-x will finally arrive sometime this decade?
I've seen one on a test flight fly by my school into KGSP
Yes, but Lufthansa never flew them. Five taken over from a Hainan Airlines order, retaining their original interior configuration, and they were transferred to Austrian airlines in 2023.
