Lufthansa can finally start making money on its Boeing 787 Dreamliners after a certification debacle left one of its most lucrative cabins largely empty for months. The German flag carrier said on Monday that it will begin selling tickets for its Allegris business class on the 787. Allegris, Lufthansa's signature cabin concept, spans economy, premium economy, business, and first class, but the business class rollout has been particularly tricky.
"Engine failure, left engine," a pilot can be heard saying. "Mayday, mayday, mayday." The Boeing 787 landed safely after just 30 minutes in the air, having dumped fuel near the airport.
The aircraft returned to Heathrow as a standard precaution after reports of a technical issue. The flight landed safely with crew and customers disembarking as they normally would, and our teams worked hard to get their journeys back on track as soon as possible.
