Lufthansa is considering reductions in Frankfurt

Ermal Muji March 6, 2023 16:30

Lufthansa flights to the city of Frankfurt will be reduced in the future. Due to bottlenecks, the airline has decided to cancel some flights. Due to bottlenecks, Lufthansa is planning fewer flights to Frankfurt. Airline boss Spohr could not confirm the number of 34 flights, but it is certain that flights will have to be cancelled in the future. This primarily affects flights that were already considered questionable in advance. Lufthansa did not offer the same number of tickets for these and thus achieved fewer sales. It is currently unclear when normal air traffic can resume without cancellations. If the load continues to increase, consequences must be expected from now on, but the problem is being worked on in order to be able to return to normal operations as quickly as possible.

Bavarian Airlines: The dream of an “airline boss” shattered

Ermal Muji March 6, 2023 15:45

Bavarian Airlines has recently caused a stir because the startup was planning to compete against Lufthansa in the future. This is now a thing of the past. The founder is accused of untruths, unpaid invoices and document falsification. The new company Bavarian Airlines has declared war on the airline Lufthansa. Domestic flights to Berlin, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt were originally announced for 2023. Subsequently, it was planned to also offer flights to Amsterdam, London, Geneva and Vienna. However, this no longer corresponds to reality, and allegations have shattered the dreams of the Bavarian Airlines boss. At first, everything seems authentic: Bavarian Airlines impresses with a website, a well-thought-out plan and an airline headquarters at Munich Airport. But in reality, the actual headquarters of Bavarian Airlines in Munich never existed. There is no trace of Bavarian Airlines in the premises of Munich Airport. The founder AK recently gave several interviews in which he also revealed that he was able to raise millions from investors. However, insiders became suspicious: the Embraer E195-E2 aircraft type was also announced for flights to London City. However, the E195-E2 does not have approval for the inner-city airport of the capital of the United Kingdom and, due to local conditions, it is very unlikely that this approval will ever be granted. The company name "Bayerische Fluggesellschaft mbH" does not exist in the German commercial register, as can be seen from the website. However, the company was founded in Great Britain, and the airline is listed in the directory as Bavarian Airlines, initially under the name Hessische Finanzgruppe. The capital of the registered company is said to be

Lufthansa: Airbus A380 should be used longer

Ermal Muji March 3, 2023 19:08

Some of Lufthansa's aircraft will be taken out of service in the future. New aircraft are to be ordered instead. The Airbus A380, which was once on the verge of being phased out, will probably remain in use for some time. During the Corona crisis, Lufthansa, like its competitors, decided to give up its own superjumbos. The likelihood of these being put back into service was estimated to be very low. However, this changed after the manufacturer Boeing encountered complications with deliveries of the 777X. Finally, Lufthansa decided to keep using the superjumbos and reintroduce them. This will take place in summer 2023. The lifespan of the Airbus A380 is estimated to be several years. It has also been decided to bring two more A380s back into scheduled service.

Aircraft leasing is becoming increasingly expensive

Ermal Muji March 3, 2023 18:35

In the near future, leasing rates are expected to skyrocket. The reason for this forecast is the increasing demand, as it is currently not possible to produce as many aircraft as are in demand. According to the leasing company AerCap, over 90 percent of the aircraft that are being waited for until 2024 are already owned. In the last quarter, AerCap earned around 495 million euros, but this figure may change considerably as leasing rates increase.

The new Tecnam P2012 Traveller is also intended to benefit climate protection. The airline follows the following motto: "Anyone can offer simple sightseeing flights, we can do it better." The founders Ambrosius and Reuter, who are themselves pilots, submitted an application to realize sightseeing flights in 2021. Their aircraft, the new Tecnam P2012 Traveller, which far exceeds the legal requirements, is considered the first European passenger aircraft of its kind. It is considered extremely environmentally friendly because the greenhouse gas emissions are offset by the partner First Climate. Three routes have been offered since last year: the Five Lakes Tour via Munich, the Neunschwanstein Route via Neuschwanstein Castle and the Alpine Route over the Alps. The starting and landing point for these sightseeing flights is Augsburg Airport, where Alpen Air is based. The prerequisite for these sightseeing flights to take place is suitable weather and enough passengers. Now that Alpen Air has achieved perfection with its sightseeing flights, it wants to offer flights across Europe in the future.

Ermal Muji March 2, 2023 18:29

On March 1, 2023, the countries of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will approve the alliance between Korean Air and Asiana Airlines. The airline Korean Air is now waiting for recognition from the EU, the USA and Japan. The CMA initially scheduled its assessment until March 23. This was justified by the fact that the market's opinion would still be implemented and action would be taken accordingly. However, the proposed solutions were generally accepted. The approval by the CMA shows that the proposed solutions were able to override objections under competition law. Flights between London Heathrow and Seoul Incheon will in future be managed through cooperation between the airlines Korean Air and Virgin Atlantic. Since January 2022, Korean Air has presented its solutions to 14 competition authorities. 11 countries approved the merger of the two airlines.
