Each month LUFTHANSA updates the status of their Business Class retrofit progress across the long haul fleet.   This month’s update confirms that 100 long-haul aircraft now feature the new Business Class cabin.

Since the July report, this is an increase of 5 additional aircraft now outfitted with the new Business Class cabin.   It also means that there are ONLY 7 more left so if things remain on track the retrofit should be completed by September

Here is the breakdown by Aircraft type and then by specific aircraft registration:
