Lufthansa City Airlines, the latest addition to the Lufthansa Group, is set to take flight on 26 June, 2024, marking its debut with a maiden voyage from Munich to Birmingham.
This exciting development comes after the announcement that ticket sales commenced on 24 April, enabling eager travellers to secure their seats on feeder services for Lufthansa, as well as direct flights connecting Munich with a plethora of destinations.
The integration of Lufthansa City Airlines into the Lufthansa Group’s feeder network, particularly within the hubs of Frankfurt and Munich, promises seamless connectivity and convenience for passengers. Initially focusing on European and German domestic routes, such as Birmingham, Hanover and Düsseldorf, the airline is poised to expand its footprint across the continent in the near future.
With a forward-thinking approach to fleet expansion, Lufthansa City Airlines is set to soar with a fleet comprising Airbus A320 Family aircraft.
