Lufthansa Group resuming more EX-YU routes in late June
The Lufthansa Group has revised its schedule for the month of June by adding more services to cities in the former Yugoslavia and elsewhere due to stronger than expected demand. Under its latest revision, Germany’s Lufthansa will return to Belgrade, Austrian to Zagreb and Swiss to Pristina. In addition to the previously announced flights from Frankfurt to Ljubljana, Dubrovnik and Pula, Lufthansa will reinstate operations from Munich to Split and Dubrovnik starting June 20, followed by services to Belgrade from June 23. The German carrier will also add flights from Frankfurt to Split from June 20. Lufthansa plans to have 90% of its short haul network reinstated by September. There will be 102 destinations from Frankfurt and 88 from Munich. Lufthansa expanded its service concept on June 1 with all customers now receiving a disinfecting wipe prior to each flight. Business class passengers on short haul operations will once again be able to choose from a selection of beverages and the meal service has also been reinstated.
Austrian Airlines is adding more flights to its network ahead of its service resumption next week. In addition to the previously announced flights to Belgrade, Dubrovnik, Pristina, Sarajevo, Skopje and Split, Austrian will also reintroduce operations to Zagreb on June 29 and Podgorica on June 30. The carrier has now rescheduled its planned new service between Vienna and Zadar for July 6, however, bookings for the route remain closed at this point. Meanwhile, Swiss will reintroduce flights from Geneva to Pristina on June 24, complementing its flights to Belgrade, which are resuming today. Swiss plans to return to about 85% of the destinations it served before the corona crisis in autumn, with about one-third of its capacity on these routes.
Eurowings is also significantly expanding its flight program for both business and leisure travellers and plans to fly to 80% of its destinations again in the course of the summer. The carrier noted that following the lifting of Germany’s international travel warning, interest in holiday destinations in Croatia “is growing by leaps and bounds”. As a result, Eurowings will be putting 30% to 40% of its flight capacity back into the air in July, with the main focus on flights from Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Cologne/Bonn.
The Lufthansa Group has said it will be reintroducing routes and updating its schedule on an almost daily basis, which is why interested travellers should check the websites of the respective airlines within the group for the latest network modifications.
