Lufthansa City Airlines Reveals Its First Destinations

Lufthansa City Airlines, the newest airline in the Lufthansa Group, is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2024; the carrier’s destinations have now been announced.

Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Hanover, Birmingham, Bordeaux, and Manchester will be among the first cities the airline serves from Munich. Lufthansa City Airlines will be adding more destinations across Europe and progressively growing its network over the next months.

The Lufthansa Group has sent a strong signal for the future of the new airline by placing an order for 40 Airbus A220-300 aircraft and an additional 20 buy options. To maintain the competitive edge in the market and support the intended expansion of Lufthansa’s long-haul routes, the short-haul network must be made more competitive.

For short- and medium-haul routes, passengers flying on Lufthansa City Airlines can anticipate the same Lufthansa product offering and customer experience. The new Lufthansa City livery has already been applied to the first two of the four Airbus A319 aircraft that will be deployed this year. Beginning at the end of April, tickets will be sold through the well-known Lufthansa Group channels.
