Boeing received a welcome boost to its 777X program on Monday as Lufthansa Group placed an order for seven 777-8 Freighters scheduled for first delivery in 2027. Orders for two of the company’s present-day 777 Freighters and seven 787-9s accompanied the 777-8F deal, cementing Lufthansa’s commitment to Boeing widebody products after it signed as a launch customer for the 777-9 passenger airplane in 2013. The new deal for 787-9s brings the group’s order total for the Dreamliner family to 32.
