The Lufthansa Group has confirmed the launch destinations of its subsidiary Lufthansa City Airlines.
The short-haul airline will launch flights with A319 aircraft from Munich to the German destinations of Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Dusseldorf, Cologne and Hanover, as well as services to Birmingham and Manchester in the UK, and Bordeaux in France.
While an exact date for the first flight has not yet been given, Lufthansa says it will take place in summer 2024 and flights can be booked from the end of April.
The airline plans to expand its network and offer more destinations in Europe in the future.
The first two of the four Airbus A319 aircraft to be deployed this year have been painted in the new Lufthansa City livery. The group is also expanding its fleet, ordering 40 A220-300 aircraft and a further 20 purchase options.
Lufthansa City Airlines reiterated in the press release that “the competitive strengthening of the short-haul network is essential to strengthen the market position of the Lufthansa Group and the planned growth of Lufthansa's long-haul routes.”
The airline was founded in 2022 and received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the German Federal Aviation Authority in June 2023.
