Americas and Asia lead growth
Lufthansa will start nonstop Frankfurt-Columbus flights on May 5, 2027, three times a week with a Boeing 787-9. From Munich, the airline plans a three-times-weekly Phoenix service from August 3 using an Airbus A350-900.
Frankfurt will receive daily Tokyo-Narita flights from March 28 and seasonal Nagoya service from March 29. The group also plans higher frequencies to destinations including Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro, Hyderabad, Chennai and Montreal, while Frankfurt-Kuala Lumpur is scheduled to become a daily summer service.
The expansion covers the wider group as well. Discover Airlines will begin Frankfurt-Edmonton flights on June 1, ITA Airways plans Rome-Caracas service from March 30, and Brussels Airlines will add Cairo. The schedule increases capacity, but its earnings contribution will depend on fares, demand, fuel prices and operating costs.
German large-cap stocks can be followed through the DAX market theme.
