Lufthansa resuming more EX-YU flights
Germany’s Lufthansa will be resuming additional routes in the former Yugoslavia in July and adding frequencies on services which have already been reinstated. Since June 20, the carrier restarted flights from Frankfurt to Ljubljana, Dubrovnik and Pula and from Munich to Belgrade, Split and Dubrovnik. Starting July 1, Lufthansa will double its frequencies from Frankfurt to Ljubljana, from the existing six weekly operations to twelve weekly. This will be followed by the reintroduction of three weekly flights from Frankfurt to Zadar on July 4. From July 6, Lufthansa will bring back its Frankfurt - Belgrade service with an initial three weekly rotation. During the first week of July, frequencies will be increased from Frankfurt to Split, from one to three weekly flights, and to Dubrovnik and Pula, from one to two weekly services.
Lufthansa will also grow its operations out of Munich. The airline will resume operations from its Bavarian hub to Zagreb from July 1 with three weekly services, as well as to Zadar from July 4 and Pula from July 5 with one weekly rotation each. Operations to Zadar will grow to two weekly during the month. Furthermore, it will increase frequencies to Belgrade from three to five weekly, as well as to Dubrovnik and Split from one to four weekly. Despite the restoration of the majority of its network in the former Yugoslavia, Lufthansa is yet to schedule flights from Munich to Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Rijeka and Tivat, as well as from Frankfurt to Zagreb and Tivat. Changes remain possible as the carrier continues to rebuild its network.
Lufthansa’s shareholders voted to accept the conditions of a nine billion euro rescue deal this week arranged by the German government, shoring up the company's liquidity enough to ride out the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The cash injection will allow Lufthansa to continue ramping up flight operations. The group plans to restore 90% of its originally planned short haul destinations and 70% of long haul destinations by September. The stabilisation package comes with a set of conditions, including a temporary 20% stake in the company and two seats on its supervisory board for the German government, as well as the need for Lufthansa to transfer up to 24 take-off and landing slots at Frankfurt and Munich airports to a new competitor.
