Lufthansa Becomes First Airline in Europe to Fly Airbus’ New Single-Aisle Airspace Cabin

Lufthansa has become the first airline in Europe to introduce Airbus’ new single-aisle Airspace cabin for passengers on board A320 Family aircraft.

The new Airspace cabin on Lufthansa's A321neo features slimmer sidewall panels for extra personal space at shoulder level; better views through the windows with redesigned bezels and completely integrated window shades; larger overhead bins for 60% more bags; the latest full LED lighting technologies; LED-lit ‘entrance area’; and new lavatories with hygienic touchless features and antimicrobial surfaces.

"Regardless of the crisis, we continue to focus emphatically on a premium product for our guests," said Heike Birlenbach, Head of Customer Experience, Lufthansa Group. "For us, premium means providing high-quality, individualized and relevant offers for all our passengers at all times. With the new Airspace Cabin, we are significantly improving the travel experience on short-haul routes and setting a new industry benchmark."

Lufthansa has been operating the A320-family since the 1980s and has been the very first operator of the A321 and the A320neo.

In 2018, the airline group chose to equip more than 80 of its new A320 Family aircraft on order from Airbus with the new Airspace cabins.

“Lufthansa has once again made a choice of innovation and passenger appeal, raising the bar for the flying public at large to experience next-level, Airbus leading cabin innovations,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International. “I am delighted to welcome one of our long term partners, Lufthansa, to become the first European operator for the A320neo Family Airspace cabin. I can’t wait to fly on one of these aircraft.”
