The Lufthansa Group is planning a "major
expansion" in U.S. routes from its Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich hubs next
year. Next summer, Lufthansa will begin service from Munich to Seattle with six
weekly flights and from Munich to Detroit with five weekly flights. Its
low-cost subsidiary Eurowings will add several routes in the summer, as well,
including:
- Frankfurt to Phoenix five days per week
- Frankfurt to Anchorage three days per week
- Munich to Orlando three days per week
- Munich to Las Vegas two days per week
The expansion also includes Swiss International Air Lines' new
service from Zurich to Washington, D.C., which was announced this week.
