B789s from 2023 will then get the new Business Class.
This would somewhat fit in with my theory that the 789s will be split between LH and OS as LH can replace their aging 343s and 333s in FRA with them and OS will get them to replace their remaining 767s.
I can see OS going all B787 very quickly and also the B772's disapearing within next 2 years or so.
For LX's future I am optimistic that they will receive as of 2025 A359's to replace the 5 A343's followed by WK replacing their A343's as well. Shoud LX require grow it's long haul fleet again following the withdrawal of 5 A333's I can see them receiving up to 5 more between 2026 -2029 after which they will start to replace their remaining 9 A333's. Who knows as of 2035 we will see A35X to replace the B77W's at LX
