Lufthansa Group's newly establish City Airlines is gearing up for its summer 2024 debut, and the excitement is hotting up as the first aircraft in its fleet has finally landed at Munich Airport. The Airbus A319 is the first of four to join the fleet soon, and it was seen sporting the new airline's livery for the first time.
The airline was founded last year and received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the German Federal Aviation Authority back in June. It will operate its flights from the Munich and Frankfurt hubs and thus also offer feeder flights for Lufthansa. City Airlines will operate alongside Lufthansa CityLine. Recruitment of operational staff will begin in November 2023, with pilots and cabin crew members needed for the launch. The competitive strengthening of the short-haul network is essential for the market position of Lufthansa Group and for the planned growth of the long-haul segment in the German market. City Airlines plans to expand its fleet to 80 narrow body aircraft, with an order for 40 Airbus A220-300. The new subsidiary will focus on inter-European flights to strengthen Lufthansa's foothold at Munich and Frankfurt Airport. Managing Director of City Airlines, Jens Fehlinger, spoke about what the group hopes to achieve with the new airline, "With City Airlines, we want to create prospects for the coming decades and secure sustainable jobs in Germany. This is the only way for us to grow and sustainably strengthen the hubs in Munich and Frankfurt." Read more by clicking here.

These are not records taken from somewhere else, but are actual flights I have been on. Most of the flight trips are officially sponsored by the airline companies in order to promote their certain routes, and aircraft. Airline promotion and PR related work in the aviation industry is one of my expertise.
