Lufthansa City Airlines will begin operating Airbus A220‑300 aircraft from Frankfurt, with the first flight scheduled for either 5 January or 1 February, depending on the source, on the Frankfurt‑Brussels sector.
The carrier plans to add further A220 routes to Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg and Leipzig in January, with Düsseldorf joining on 1 March, and will receive one new A220 each month after the initial delivery, operating at least two aircraft from day one; the 148‑seat jets feature three toilets, including a barrier‑free facility.

Why it matters

The introduction of the A220‑300 expands Lufthansa City Airlines' regional capacity and modernises its fleet with a more efficient aircraft type.
