Lufthansa (LH/Frankfurt) has announced a major number of new routes to be launched in spring:
Dusseldorf-Westerland: 2x weekly seasonal ATR 42-500 service starting on April 14 operated by Contact Air (KI/Stuttgart)
Frankfurt-Astana-Almaty: 2x weekly A330-200 service starting starting on March 27 (addition of a new stop in Astana)
Frankfurt-Westerland: 2x weekly seasonal Dash 8-300 service starting on April 8 operated by Augsburg Airways (IQ/Augsburg)
Munich-Cagliari: 2x weekly seasonal ATR 72-500 service starting on March 26 operated by Air Dolomiti (EN/Trieste)
Munich-Olbia: 2x weekly seasonal Dash 8-400 service starting on April 8 operated by Augsburg Airways
Munich-Porto: 2x weekly seasonal ARJ-85 service starting on March 26 operated by Lufthansa CityLine (CL/Cologne/Bonn)
Munich-Westerland: 2x weekly seasonal CRJ-100 service starting on April 8 operated by Lufthansa CityLine
Stuttgart-Bilbao: daily CRJ-100 service starting on April 23 operated by Lufthansa CityLine
Stuttgart-London City: 6x weekly ATR 42-500 service starting on March 26 operated by Contact Air
Stuttgart-Westerland: 2x weekly ATR 42-500/ATR 72-500 service starting on April 14 operated by Contact Air
It is also considering adding new routes from Hamburg and Munich to Dublin and from Nuremberg to Milan Malpensa.
Attualmente sulla Milano-NUE vola solo la Air Berlin con 737-800 cinque volte la settimana; da aprile il volo verrà portato a 2xW molto probabilmente per lo scarso traffico sulla rotta. Tuttavia penso che con un aeroplano più piccolo (in LH di certo non mancano...) e con orari adatti all'utenza business il volo possa tranquillamente funzionare.
Lufthansa porterebbe a ben 6 le destinazioni tedesche offerte da MXP!
