  So here I have to put a stop to it. I'm sorry, the article has been researched in a terrible way and Handelsblatt as a source is initially extremely risky, and if you use this source, then maybe you should compare the facts.

  I'll clean up a bit, maybe you can then correct the article or delete it directly, because with correct information the article is completely different from the current one.

  Paragraph 1: This information is not public, has never been communicated in this way. There are also no rumors from Lufthansa / Austrian / Brussels ranks that this is a mix of misinterpretation

  Paragraph 2: Premium claim, Lufthansa has stamped Austrian and Brussels as value carriers, but Carsten Spohr has already explained that AUA is not counted as a premium carrier, as this designation is used to denote the airlines with first class offers to call. Carsten Spohr has already denied that Austrian therefore does not have a premium claim. By the way, there are no officially planned long-haul planes for Switzerland. The A320neo family on short / medium-haul routes, all A220s have already been delivered. Brussels officially (!) Gets brand new A320neo. Due to the officially confirmed orders, it is wrong to downplay the importance of the airlines in the Group's hub concept. Austrian will unofficially get 787 next year. Information is usually heard in the form of rumors before it is officially confirmed. In the past, however, the rumors have been confirmed suspiciously often. (See e.g. Comeback A340-600). Incidentally, there are currently no rumors at all about brand-new aircraft about Swiss long-haul fleet, but at Austrian there are.

  Paragraph 3: Eurowings and Eurowings Discover should grow strongly, that is correct. But does not rule out growth in the crane itself. The Austrian and Brussels do not get in Eurowings' enclosure at all. It is only logical that Brussels and Austrian restrict themselves to one hub, Vienna has already given Eurowings back to Austrian. Eurowings is getting some brand new machines, that is correct, but Eurowings Discover is not. The aircraft are used machines from the inventory of Lufthansa, SunExpress Germany and Edelweiss. And the Lufthansa A330s, like the SXD A330s, are no longer the youngest either. The 3 A330-200s in the LH Group have already reached their expiry date by 2025 at the latest. That you choose Eurowings to grow pan-European is clear from the name alone. But even there, the airline does not interfere with either Austrian or Brussels. It is clear that aircraft will be required for such an expansion. But that does not mean that other group airlines are becoming less important. You can also develop new business areas without competing with other airlines in the group. The group's managers have often officially communicated that they do not want to orientate themselves towards Ryanair, EasyJet and Wizzair!

  Paragraph 4: This is again the same as in the first paragraph. Interpretation of misinformation. Incidentally, including the A1 departures, the AUA fleet has been enlarged in recent years. In terms of capacity, the AUA growth is even greater, and that becomes even greater when you consider that the aircraft have a more closely timed flight schedule.

  I sincerely ask for correction, because here an airline group is completely unnecessary and wrongly depicted in a bad light!
