The two widebody aircraft were delivered to Lufthansa during
late 2025 and early 2026. Under the terms of the agreement, the aircraft will
be operated by the airline on its extensive international long-haul network.
The transaction marks a significant milestone in the ongoing
relationship between the lessor and the airline group. While CDB Aviation has
historically engaged with other members of the Lufthansa Group—including
Austrian Airlines and Eurowings—and has maintained a business relationship with
the airline’s engine leasing division, this deal represents the first direct
aircraft leasing agreement between CDB Aviation and Lufthansa Airlines.
“This sale and leaseback agreement with Lufthansa represents
a key transaction for CDB Aviation, as we continue to grow the portfolio with
top-tier credits and new technology, liquid assets,” said Gavan Daly, CDB
Aviation’s head of commercial for the EMEA region. “We are pleased to partner
with such an iconic carrier as they continue to modernize their fleet.”
The two Boeing 787-9s are equipped with Lufthansa’s latest cabin innovation, known as the "Allegris" configuration. This new product standard is a centerpiece of the airline’s current fleet modernization strategy, designed to enhance passenger comfort across all service tiers.
The Allegris cabin features redesigned offerings in
Business, Premium Economy, and Economy classes.
CDB Aviation, headquartered in Dublin, remains one of the
world’s largest aircraft leasing companies.
