Lufthansa has just announced a series of capacity and fleet measures, in light of current circumstances. This is due to a combination of high oil prices and major labor issues at Lufthansa, which are leaving the carrier in a tough spot.
In a separate post, I’ve already covered how the airline group has shut down its Lufthansa CityLine subsidiary with no notice, which is a major move. That’s only one of the changes we’re seeing, though, as the company has also announced updates to its long haul fleet.
Historically, Discover has primarily operated A330s, though recently it was announced that the airline will be getting four A350-900s in 2027. The idea is that the ex-Philippine Airlines A350s (with unique interiors) that Lufthansa is currently flying will be going to Discover, as Lufthansa takes delivery of more new long haul aircraft.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
