The German flag carrier will launch a daily Munich-Bangkok flight “in summer 2019”, which will compete directly with the daily service of its Star alliance partner Thai Airways International. Lufthansa also will upgrade its Munich-Singapore A350-900 route from five times a week to daily and Munich-Incheon A350 flights from six-a week to daily.
In the interim, the Star Alliance founding carrier said it would move flights to Osaka from Frankfurt to Munich, but stopped short of disclosing details about the route.
In 2018, Lufthansa relocated five A380s from its Frankfurt base to the airline’s hub in Munich. The airline this week said the transfer “was very well received by the market and has been a resounding success”. As a result of this, Lufthansa said it was “considering transferring additional A380 aircraft” to the Bavarian capital.
