Yeah, I saw that yesterday. After
Emirates canceled their A340 orders, Airbus was looking at closing down the A340 line altogether due to lack of sales.
I'd go "all in" that Lufthansa got a very sweetheart deal on those A340s that were originally slated to go to Emirates as part of their compensation for the A380 delivery delay.
Why else would Lufthansa order A340s in the era of A350s and B787s?
