- Lufthansa Group will keep several Dubai routes suspended through March 27, 2027.

- The group cited operational reasons as regional conditions continue to affect its winter network.
Lufthansa Group is scaling back its planned return to Dubai for the 2026/27 winter schedule. According to Aviacionline, the group will keep SWISS, Austrian Airlines and ITA Airways flights to Dubai suspended through March 27, 2027. Lufthansa will also drop its Frankfurt-Dubai service for the rest of the northern winter.
Lufthansa stock traded at 8.81 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 11:51 CET on Friday, November 13, 2026.
Only two routes remain scheduled
The revised plan leaves two group connections scheduled to restart on November 25. Lufthansa intends to operate the Munich-Dubai route five times a week, while Eurowings plans a daily service from Berlin to Dubai. The remaining Lufthansa Group routes cited in the report are not scheduled to return before the end of the winter timetable.
The group attributed the changes to operational reasons. The decision reduces the number of planned Dubai routes from the earlier winter plan, which had envisaged five routes and as many as 28 weekly frequencies at the season's peak, according to Aviacionline.
Capacity shifts toward India
SWISS plans to use part of the released capacity for India. From December 2, the airline is scheduled to restore a second daily Zurich-New Delhi frequency for the winter, using Airbus A340-300 aircraft with First, Business, Premium Economy and Economy cabins.
The route change adds another moving part to Lufthansa Group's network planning after the airline group took delivery of its first Airbus A350-1000 in Munich earlier in November. That aircraft is scheduled for its inaugural Lufthansa flight to Tokyo on December 3 and is intended to support the group's long-haul fleet modernization.
What the schedule means for investors
The Dubai reductions remove planned capacity from several major hubs, while preserving limited services from Munich and Berlin. For investors, the operational decision underscores the sensitivity of airline capacity planning to conditions affecting routes through the Middle East; its financial effect will depend on replacement demand, aircraft deployment and the duration of the suspensions.
