Some highlights:
> Daily flights FRA-JED and FRA-RUH.
> FRA-DTW downgrade to A333.
> Second FRA-LAX with A346.
> FRA-IKA upgrade to A346.
> FRA-CCS upgrade to A346.
> FRA-MAA downgrade to A343.
> Nonstop flights FRA-ADD.
> Second flight FRA-PVG 3/7.
> MUC-EWR upgrade to A346.
By also operating a 343 between Munich and Dubai they not only increase their capacity as compared with last summer, but will also operate the additional PrivatAir 738 service from Frankfurt which was introduced this year.
Probably to connect with the CO hub once CO joins Star. I've also heard that T1 at JFK is now simply too crowded for them to expand service. Perhaps we shall see a service downgrade at JFK for MUC?
And LH continues with a very limited presence in South America with only 3 markets served.
I believe EZE will be down from 6/7 this winter... am i correct ?
New York + Rio de Janeiro = One of the best combinations !

Quoting DABVF (Thread starter): Flights from DUS:
408 EWR 7/7 343

Has DUS-MIA been cut already? Was it just a seasonal flight?

Thanks, I could remember if it was seasonal or permanent.

Doesn't this usually upgrade each summer from privatair?
LH 686 is the day flight and LH 690 is the late evening flight out of FRA. I don't know when they installed the second flight but it must have been already at least two years ago.

Quoting CPH-R (Reply 15): Any word on how the MUC-ICN-PUS/SHE has been performing so far? I know they don't have any traffic rights between ICN & PUS, but what about ICN & SHE?
LH has rights between ICN and SHE, but not many takes this flight due to the poor timing (around 6:30AM dep. from ICN, 9AM dep. from SHE). Load of ICN-PUS is not good either, but LH does have some advantage as the only European carrier for PUS and SHE. Not sure about SHE-MUC demand, but there are enough passengers from ICN, so overall LF is okay. By the way, there's no ICN-MUC flights for about two weeks in this holiday season.

Well, before the introduction of the MUC flight LH always operated a 744 and a 343 to BOS in the Summer. It was only last year (or year before?), that they "downgraded" the 744 flight to an A346.

Are the two leaving A340-300's the ones destined for the VIP squadron of the government? Confused
Yes, D-AIFB and D-AIGR are the two A340-300...
Thanks a lot for this detailed information DABVF!

26 LH423: Not quite. It's been a 744 for several years (and previously a 742) during the Winter but since the introduction of the MUC flight it's always been 3
27 LouA340: How long has the this route been with the A346 and is this seasonal or now permanent? I guess the route is doing well and so the increase in capacity

31 Amax1977: Tehran is getting 7/7 346???? That's pretty cool...
32 LipeGIG: But when we compare South America.....
33 DTWAGENT: LH may add another flight to DTW like they have done the last few years. One (1) daily A333 and one A340 (3) days a week. But what I don't understand
34 BlatantEcho: I guess the SEA flight, and the addition of AMS service by NW cut into PDX enough that they are limiting summer flying huh? Do you know what days they
35 MAH4546: I thought that the Frankfurt-based A340-600s do not have First Class, only the Munich-based ones do. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong or mixing somet
36 BA: It's too bad that FRA-DEN won't see a 744 like it did in the past now that MUC-DEN is gone. It's going from 7x to 8x weekly with an extra Saturday mor
37 Rheinwaldner: Regarding the role of VLA aircraft (hot topic in other threads): Have you noticed that all (=100%) of the 744 are used because of their capacity? LH h
38 Hardiwv: Congratulations to LH team in CCS. There is no doubt that LH by offering F in CCS will attract the premium segment of the traffic Venezuela-Europe/As
39 Directorguy: I take it HBE won't be changed? Is this route actually selling?
40 Robffm2: As two A343 are leaving, will that result in an even higher higher utilization of the widebodies? Or will that be compensated by the arriving new A333
41 Airbazar: I personally think LH could easily fill 3 744's out of BOS but that would drive down yields obviously. However, I think this increased capacity is LH
42 Columba: Don´t know about the 744s but the A343 will get PTVs. LH will get additional A333s next year so this is very likely.
43 HT: W/o onward connections from DTW to speak of, this side of the route is pretty much O&D. And with the recent downturn in the automotive industry, LH l

47 PP705: BOM goes daily from MUC. Is there the demand for a daily flight?
48 LXA340: Even longer, more like around 10 years or so. This really wouldn't make sense.
49 SANFan: Looks like no new US cities will be opened next summer by LH. I'm not really surprised; maybe later in 2009 or we wait and see about 2010... Merry Chr
