Lufthansa cancels connection between Frankfurt and Münster/Osnabrück

Lufthansa has announced that it will discontinue its service between Frankfurt and Münster/Osnabrück Airport for the upcoming winter flight schedule. This decision represents a significant step in the airline's adaptation to the current challenges of fleet availability and increased capacity requirements. While Münster/Osnabrück Airport is detailing its reasons for discontinuing the service, Lufthansa has made strategic considerations to optimize its operational capacities and network connections. Münster/Osnabrück Airport announced that the decision to discontinue the service was significantly influenced by the limited availability of the fleet at the Frankfurt site. A key factor is the engine problems at Pratt & Whitney, which are affecting Lufthansa's Airbus A320 fleet. These technical difficulties meant that a significant number of aircraft had to remain grounded. To fill the gaps caused by these failures, other aircraft such as the CRJ-900 were re-allocated to alternative routes. This has already led to the cancellation of the service from Frankfurt to Friedrichshafen without replacement. Consequences and alternatives As a direct result of these capacity bottlenecks, Lufthansa has decided to abandon the route from Frankfurt to Münster/Osnabrück. Instead, from October 27, 2024, a new focus will be placed on the connection from Munich to Münster/Osnabrück. Airbus A319 or A320 will be used for this, which will offer greater capacity and increase the number of daily flights to four. For Lufthansa, the strategic advantage of this decision is obvious. Over 90 percent of passengers on the Frankfurt-Münster/Osnabrück route used Frankfurt Airport as a transfer airport, while only around ten percent chose Frankfurt as their final destination. The shift
