UPDATE – Lufthansa is closing in on an order for some eighty narrowbody aircraft. Half of them will be for City Airlines, the new subsidiary that Lufthansa is establishing as a new feeder airline for its European operations. City Airlines will launch operations in the summer of 2024.
Aviation website aeroTELEGRAPH reported earlier this month that Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr discussed the new order in a video presentation with workforce representatives. While a loyal Airbus customer, Spohr said that requests for proposals have been submitted to both Airbus and Boeing for the A320neo family and MAX. This will be for forty narrowbodies for Lufthansa and its subsidiaries.
The other forty aircraft are for City Airlines or CityLine 2, as Spohr referred to. The choice here is between the Airbus A220 and the Embraer
E2-family. As AirInsight reported in March, Embraer has pitched an offer to Lufthansa for 170 E195-E2s and 40 E190-E2s to fulfill fleet requirements within the Lufthansa Group, including CityLine and potentially Air Dolomiti.
