Riyadh Air Launches Riyadh–Manchester Route
Lufthansa Group will expand its Japan network starting with the summer 2027 schedule.
Lufthansa German Airlines will resume daily round-trip service between Tokyo/Narita and Frankfurt and three weekly round-trip services between Nagoya/Chubu and Frankfurt. Both routes will be operated with Boeing 787-9 aircraft featuring the latest Allegris cabin. Ticket sales have already begun.
Swiss International Air Lines will also increase its Tokyo/Narita–Zurich service to up to one daily round trip.
As a result, the group’s four airlines—Lufthansa German Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, and ITA Airways—will operate up to 50 weekly round trips to four airports in Japan.
Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of Lufthansa Group, commented, “Japan is an important market for Lufthansa Group, and we are pleased to further strengthen our presence through the additional capacity and the resumption of the Nagoya route.”
