Gallery: Lufthansa presents first A350 with new cabin interior

Lufthansa Group chairman and CEO Carsten Spohr said the A350 will deliver a generation change for the Group's long-haul fleet.

Airbus Group CEO Tom Enders said Lufthansa has been an Airbus customer for 40 years.

The first Lufthansa A350 was christened and named after the Bavarian city of Nuremberg. Nuremberg mayor Ulrich Maly took on the role of the aircraft’s "godfather."

2,000 employees and guests visited the Lufthansa Airbus A350-900 unveiling ceremony inside the Lufthansa Technik Hangar in Munich.

The first 10 A350-900s will be deployed on long-haul routes from Munich to Delhi and Boston. A total of seven of the type will be delivered in 2017.

One galley is located in the rear of the aircraft.
