Lufthansa will reintroduce first class services from its Munich
hub from summer 2022, the airline has announced.
The airline said it would reactivate five Airbus long haul
A340-600 aircraft with four flight classes, primarily to North American and
Asian destinations.
Before the pandemic began, the Lufthansa Airbus A340-600 fleet
consisted of 17 aircraft, 12 of which are in the process of being sold. A
further five aircraft are currently not for sale and will be temporarily
reactivated and sold at a later date.
“The decision to reactivate these aircraft is due to growing
premium demand, for business as well as leisure travel,” the carrier said.
In
late summer 2023, the first Airbus A350-900, offering first class, will join
the fleet and take off from Munich.
