Another Lufthansa spokesperson told AFP on Thursday evening that the wounded, which included two of its crew members, sustained only light injuries.
They were taken to hospital to receive treatment.
The flight to Los Angeles was cancelled.
“Experts are currently on site and inspecting the aircraft,” Lufthansa said on Thursday.
The plane is expected to be moved as early as Thursday evening to a hangar “where further inspections will take place before the aircraft is repaired”, the airline added.
According to the Aerotelegraph website, the damaged jet is only one year old and was delivered to Lufthansa in January.
