Lufthansa City Airlines Opens New Base in Frankfurt

Lufthansa City Airlines has officially opened a new operational base at Frankfurt Airport, as part of its strategy to expand regional connectivity and strengthen its role within the Lufthansa Group network.

 

The new base — the airline’s first on the mainland in Germany’s largest aviation hub — will support additional flight operations, improved connectivity and better integration with long-haul services at Frankfurt. According to the carrier, the expanded presence enhances travel options for both business and leisure passengers across key European markets.

Lufthansa City Airlines will station aircraft and crew at the Frankfurt base, enabling more efficient scheduling and increased frequencies on select regional routes. The move is designed to improve connections to and from the airline’s broader network while complementing services offered by other Lufthansa Group carriers.

Executives said the new base underscores the company’s focus on building strong regional infrastructure in major hubs and responding to traveller demand for more versatile and frequent services. By operating out of Frankfurt, Lufthansa City Airlines aims to tap into one of Europe’s busiest airport ecosystems and support seamless transfers between short-haul and long-haul flights.

The expanded operations at Frankfurt reinforce the airline’s commitment to its growth plans and to enhancing customer experience through improved network flexibility and service reliability.

Passengers flying with Lufthansa City Airlines from Frankfurt can expect an enriched schedule with additional destinations and timetable options as the airline continues to develop its service offering within the group’s portfolio.
