A new subsidiary will be launched by Lufthansa which will operate long-haul flights at low-cost prices.
The carrier will operate seven of Airbus A330-300s from its base at Cologne/Bonn Airport.
A name has not yet been announced for the carrier, nor a final list of routes. However, it is anticipated that it will fly to destinations in Florida, southern Africa and around the Indian Ocean.
The operation is part of Lufthansa’s plans for a “new Eurowings”, which is being reorganised. The Air Operator’s Certificate of SunExpress will be used for the long-haul carrier, along with crews trained by the Turkish operator (which is jointly owned by Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines).
