The offered routes can already be booked via the familiar Lufthansa Group sales channels under flight numbers with the new airline code “VL” since April. The first aircraft will initially fly to Birmingham, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Hanover and Bremen.
From July 27, the second aircraft, an Airbus A319, will fly to Bordeaux, Hamburg and Berlin. With the planned fleet expansion, Lufthansa City Airlines will add further destinations in Europe to its network and gradually expand it.
After the first 5 aircraft of the Airbus A320 family, the fleet will be expanded to at least 8 more A320neo and further A319s in the coming year. Delivery of the 40 new aircraft of the Airbus A220-300 type ordered will start in 2026.
