City Airlines

City Airlines was founded in Munich in the summer of 2022 which aims to offer guests on short- and medium-haul routes an exceptional flight experience in proven Lufthansa quality. As a new airline in the Lufthansa Group, City Airlines combines the quality of Lufthansa and the experience of Lufthansa CityLine with the dynamism of a new young company. The airline received its air operator's certificate in June 2023. In doing so, City Airlines expanded the European route network in the Lufthansa Group and brought the passengers to their destinations in a modern and economical Airbus fleet. 

City Airlines plans to launch operations in the summer of 2024 with up to 80 narrowbody aircraft mainly an Airbus A320 fleet transferred from Lufthansa Cityline. Though the fleet will originally consist of Airbus A319 aircraft, Lufthansa is also evaluating the use of Airbus A220s or Embraer jets. Behind the company is a highly professional team in the cockpit and cabin, which is characterized as much by training by Lufthansa standards as by its great diversity. In the administrative and technical areas, the airlines' team works in close coordination with Lufthansa CityLine and Lufthansa Group.

City Airlines plans to have bases in Munich and Frankfurt. It is currently seeking crewmembers to operate its planes.

Flights are available from April 2024 via the familiar Lufthansa Group sales channels.

Passengers on board Lufthansa City Airlines can expect the Lufthansa product offering and customer experience for short and medium-haul routes. The first two of four Airbus A319 aircraft have already been painted in the new Lufthansa City livery.
