According to a report by aviation media Simple Flying, Lufthansa's innovative shark-skin surface film is nearing certification for the Airbus A330 aircraft. This development represents the first time that this technology has been deployed on an Airbus widebody airliner.
In background developments, Airbus A330 deliveries had previously faced disruptions. According to verified historical records, Airbus A330neo deliveries were severely hampered during the summer of 2026 due to concerns regarding the horizontal tail plane, initiated after a tool was discovered inside an aircraft's structure. Airbus subsequently identified the root cause as an isolated issue and successfully resumed A330 deliveries.
