Lufthansa adds and changes

LUFTHANSA’S SUPERVISORY BOARD had a busy meeting last week voting in Christoph Franz to replace Wolfgang Mayrhuber as Chairman and Chief Executive and also approving the acquisition of 48 aircraft.  These are destined for Lufthansa, plus two of the Group’s subsidiary airlines, SWISS and Germanwings.  The orders comprise: 20 A320 family aircraft and three A330-300s for Lufthansa; four A320 family aircraft and five A330-300s for SWISS; and eight A319s for Germanwings.  With this commitment, the Lufthansa Group, the aircraft manufacturer’s largest airline customer, will have acquired a combined total of 410 Airbus aircraft.  Lufthansa Regional gets eight new Embraer 195s. www.lufthansa.com
