(TAN): Lufthansa is taking steps to respond to a significant increase in booking demand for flights to Palma de Mallorca from both Frankfurt and Munich. The booking figures for the destination “PMI” have increased 25 times between April and the beginning of June 2021, the airline has said.
Lufthansa will be operating a Boeing 747-8 from Frankfurt to Palma de Mallorca four Saturdays in a row during the upcoming summer vacation in Hesse. Additionally, the airline also plans to operate an Airbus A350 from Munich to the Balearic Island at the start of the summer vacation in Bavaria. Although these routes are normally operated by an Airbus A321, on July 31, two wide-body Lufthansa aircraft will be arriving on Palma de Mallorca.
The Boeing 747-8 is the largest aircraft that Lufthansa is currently operating, offering up to 364 seats instead of the usual 215, which are normally available on this route. This wide-body aircraft offers passengers 88 Business Class seats (including First Class) as well as 276 seats in Economy Class (including Premium Economy).
The Airbus A350 is the most sustainable long-haul aircraft in the Lufthansa fleet. It consumes 20% less kerosene and is 50% quieter than previous models. The aircraft offers 293 seats, including 48 in Business Class and 245 in Economy Class (including Premium Economy).
The “Jumbo” and Airbus A350 flights to Palma de Mallorca are now available for booking. Lufthansa will be offsetting the CO2 emissions generated by these extraordinary flights.
