Lufthansa is now flying an Airbus A350-900 into South Africa, with the first flight on Dec 2 between Cape Town and Munich, being the first time the airline has used such a plane on one of its African routes. The General Manager of Lufthansa Group Southern Africa said, “Bringing the A350-900 to the South African market is an exciting development for Lufthansa. Based on the positive reactions from travellers around the world, we believe that our South African passengers will also enjoy the ergonomically designed interior of the aircraft, together with unique lighting and more space for storing personal items, which create a special travel experience for our customers.”
