The carrier expects a large increase in demand due to the relaxation of restrictions and vaccinations.
Europe’s largest aviation group, the Lufthansa Group, believes in a significant recovery in demand this summer. It has included 33 new destinations for the summer season.
“Our flight schedule for the summer season is the strongest in history. We expect many countries to loosen their travel restrictions and many people will already be vaccinated. Therefore, there will be a sharp increase in demand for holidays as soon as travel is possible without restrictions. We want to be well prepared for this situation. “ said Harry Hohmeister, a member of the board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG.
Compared to last summer, the company will expand its offer of summer destinations from Frankfurt by twenty cities, another thirteen from Munich. The company will focus mainly on flights to the Caribbean, Greece and the Canary Islands.
Part of the flights will be through the new Eurowings Discover brand. It will be mainly long-distance flights, for example to Zanzibar or the Dominican Republic, it will also launch a direct flight to Anchorage in Alaska or, newly, also to Mauritius and the Maldives during the summer. For flights purchased before the end of May, Lufthansa offers a possible change of ticket free of charge.
