Lufthansa has decided to put an end to the hand luggage chaos on its planes by installing new universal overhead shelves. According to Mail Online, the new Airspace L shelves from Airbus will be used on 38 A320 aircraft of the German carrier Lufthansa from January 2025. They provide 60% more luggage space, allowing three extra bags per container and accommodate bags measuring 61cm (H) x 38cm (W) x 25cm (D).
Airbus said it was the fastest and most cost-effective solution for modernizing the A320. The use of large overhead compartments will help reduce aircraft downtime and increase the comfort of passengers and crew during boarding and disembarking. The new shelves are manufactured from ultra-light and highly resistant composite materials by EFW (Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH).
American Airlines has also implemented the Airbus Airspace XL overhead luggage rack, which can accommodate suitcases up to 60 cm (24 in) high x 40 cm wide (16 in) x 25 cm (10 in) deep on its Airbus A321 neo aircraft.
