This first brand-new Airbus symbolizes the key role that Lufthansa City Airlines plays within the Lufthansa Group in redefining continental traffic to and from Munich and, from 2026, Frankfurt hubs.
From May onwards, the “Juliett Papa” will offer space for 180 passengers. Like all Lufthansa City Airlines aircraft, the new Airbus A320neo is equipped with the new Airspace cabin and offers passengers significantly larger overhead bins, a modern lighting system and improved seating comfort in proven Lufthansa quality.
With this new addition, the Lufthansa City Airlines fleet now comprises 8 aircraft (four Airbus A319s and four Airbus A320neos). This year, 5 more brand-new Airbus A320neos and two additional Airbus A320neos will be added, expanding the fleet to 15 aircraft by the end of 2025. From the end of 2026, Lufthansa City Airlines expects to take delivery of the first of 40 Airbus A220-300s on order.
