After the first five aircraft of the Airbus A320 family, the fleet will be expanded to at least eight more A320neo and further A319s in the coming year. Delivery of the 40 new aircraft of the fuel-efficient Airbus A220-300 type ordered will start in 2026.
“Lufthansa City Airlines is committed to successfully positioning itself in the European short and medium-haul segment from Munich and Frankfurt. A major investment in the future that will strengthen Germany as an aviation location and create numerous attractive jobs,” says Jens Fehlinger, Managing Director of Lufthansa City Airlines.
