Eurowings and Discover Airlines have firm strategies in place as City Airlines nears launch. But Lufthansa Group must invest in renewing its narrowbody fleet.
Lufthansa is expanding its footprint in India and adding more Airbus A380 service, while subsidiary Eurowings will return to Dubai after seven years away.
Eurowings CEO Jens Bischof said the focus on Miles and More resulted from the carrier’s positioning as a value airline for Europe, a step related to its strategy to become a pan-European airline with bases in several countries.
The 15th regional route development event will unite some of the biggest carriers in Europe and across the world to drive sustained growth for the region’s route networks.
