Lufthansa will increase its presence in the markets of the former Yugoslavia for the 2025 summer season to meet increased demand. From the end of March to the end of October, the airline plans to significantly increase flight frequencies on various routes. In particular, up to 13 additional weekly flights will be offered to Croatia compared to the previous year, bringing the total to 62 to 65 weekly rotations.
In addition to the increased connections to Croatia, Lufthansa will also increase the frequencies between Frankfurt and Belgrade and Munich and Belgrade. In August, Belgrade will be reached with a total of 42 weekly flights, which represents an increase of around eight flights per week. The airline will also double the frequencies to Tivat and also expand from Munich. Lufthansa uses a mixture of different aircraft types on these routes, including models from the Bombardier, Embraer and Airbus A320 families as well as wet-lease aircraft from its partner Air Dolomiti.
Aside from the frequency adjustments, Lufthansa has also made an attempt to reintroduce the tea and coffee service on short-haul flights, but this will not be continued in the near future due to the company's economic considerations. CEO Carsten Spohr said that the airline's average of seven euros per passenger makes it difficult to reintroduce such free services. The portal ExYuAviation.com was the first to report on the upcoming increases.
