Lufthansa plans further European fleet cuts

The Lufthansa Group, one of the largest airline groups maintaining services to markets across the former Yugoslavia, is preparing a further reduction of its European fleet as it seeks to improve the profitability of its short- and medium-haul operations. Lufthansa plans to ground between fifteen and twenty additional aircraft from 2027, potentially resulting in fewer services operated under its mainline brand. The German flag carrier has acknowledged that numerous routes within its European network remain loss-making, prompting further restructuring measures designed to reduce costs and improve efficiency. The planned aircraft groundings will build on earlier capacity cuts, which have included the cancellation of hundreds of flights and continued adjustments to Lufthansa’s fleet and network. As a result, a greater proportion of flights could be operated by other Group carriers, including Lufthansa City Airlines, Eurowings and Discover Airlines. Lufthansa believes the redistribution of capacity will allow it to lower operating expenses while maintaining connectivity across its wider network. This winter, Air Dolomiti will operate flights between Munich and Zagreb for a limited period. From March 28, the carrier will also serve the Frankfurt - Ljubljana route alongside Lufthansa mainline. Meanwhile, plans to transfer the Munich - Belgrade service from Lufthansa mainline to Discover Airlines this winter have been put on hold. During the 2026/27 winter season, which runs from October 25 until March 27, Lufthansa mainline will operate 2.542 flights in both directions to markets across the former Yugoslavia. This represents a decrease of 26.3% on the previous winter, or 907 fewer operations. The carrier will offer 382.644 seats during the season, down 13.8%, or 61.160 seats. The bulk of the reductions stems from the winter suspension of the Munich - Ljubljana service and the discontinuation of the Frankfurt - Skopje route, which operated last winter. EX-YU Aviation News

Slovenia receives four bids in latest air connectivity tender

Four applications have been submitted under the latest deadline of Slovenia’s tenth public tender aimed at improving the country’s air connectivity, the Ministry of Infrastructure has told EX-YU Aviation News. The identities of the applicants and the routes they are seeking subsidies for have not yet been disclosed. “We received four applications within the statutory deadline. The commission for the opening of applications will meet this week. The applications and carriers will become known only after they are opened”, the Ministry told EX-YU Aviation News. It is not yet known whether the four applications were submitted by four separate airlines or whether individual carriers applied for support on more than one route. The latest deadline under the tenth tender expired on August 31. The public call itself was launched on February 6 and included two application deadlines, the first of which expired on March 6. Under the tender rules, the opening of applications is not public and is to be carried out by the aid granting commission within eight days of receipt. Airlines can receive subsidies covering up to 50% of eligible airport charges associated with a new route for a period of up to three years. The scheme gives preference to a number of routes identified by the Slovenian government as being of particular importance for the country’s connectivity. The first deadline of the tenth tender also attracted four applications. airBaltic sought support for Tenerife, Gran Canaria and the continuation of its Riga service, while Norwegian applied for an extension of its Copenhagen operations. Funding was ultimately approved for airBaltic’s Tenerife and Gran Canaria services, while the Riga and Copenhagen applications were unsuccessful. Eurowings is understood to be among the carriers seeking financial support under the latest round, with the Lufthansa Group budget airline tipped to revive plans for flights between Berlin and Ljubljana. The German capital is one of the government’s priority destinations under the subsidy programme. However, Eurowings’ participation has not yet been officially confirmed and will become clear once the four applications are opened. The airline previously applied for subsidies for both Berlin - Ljubljana and Dusseldorf - Ljubljana services in late 2024. It subsequently abandoned plans for the Berlin route before tickets went on sale, while launching flights from Dusseldorf in April 2025. The latter was discontinued after a single summer season, with Eurowings ending its Ljubljana operations in October 2025. At the time, the carrier had indicated that Berlin could be reconsidered at a later stage. EX-YU Aviation News

AvTalk Episode 384: And we’re back

After a week away, there’s much to discuss on this week’s episode of AvTalk. We start in Munich, where the Runway 26L took a great deal of abuse. We discuss the Vietnam Airlines 787 runway overrun and tail strike , followed two days later by a Lufthansa A380 touching down before the threshold on the same runway. We also examine what happened aboard Air India A320neo VT-EXO, which briefly lost pressure across all three hydraulic systems, causing an upset that injured nearly two dozen people. Plus, American puts two aircraft with the same call sign on the same frequency—again—and investigators say an unqualified passenger may have been flying a Phenom 100 that overran a wet runway. Elsewhere, a ramp worker is killed during the pushback of a French bee A350 in Montreal, a Frankfurt Airport employee dies from a rare case of malaria, and a Qantas A380 flies to Dallas and back with a maintenance light left inside its wing. We also discuss rising runway incursions in Australia, the return of the Delta–Aeromexico joint venture, Eurowings’ new Premium BIZ seats, the FAA’s war on plastic cups, United’s orphaned 737 MAX 10 seats, and American’s plan to bring seatback screens back—eventually. Please check back soon for a transcript of this week’s episode.

Cool: Eurowings Adds “Real” Business Class On Entire A320neo Fleet, A Rarity In Europe

Business class on narrow-body jets within Europe is known for being lackluster, generally just consisting of economy seats with blocked middles and improved service. In 2025, a Lufthansa Group carrier announced it would install more comfortable seats in business class on narrow-body aircraft. Ironically, it wasn’t a full-service airline like Lufthansa or SWISS, but instead the group’s low-cost carrier, Eurowings.
