Lufthansa to add flights to Israel in 2014

12/12/2013 9:59:06 AM

Lufthansa plans to boost capacity on routes between Germany and Israel next year to meet rising demand and as an open skies agreement takes effect. Beginning in March, the carrier will add three weekly flights between Frankfurt and Tel Aviv and three more on its Munich route using 190-seat Airbus A321 aircraft, Lufthansa said, reported Reuters. In all, Lufthansa aims for 27 weekly flights to and from Germany – 17 on its Frankfurt route, eight on its Munich route and two on its Berlin route. The Israel-Europe open skies deal starts to go into effect in April and the relaxation of restrictions and quotas on flights between Israel and EU countries is expected to increase competition. Lufthansa spokesman Tal Muscal said more frequencies might be added in 2015, with an aim for three flights a day between Frankfurt and Tel Aviv.   Cargonews Asia
