NEWS FLASH
Lufthansa plans to halve its operations between Frankfurt and Zagreb at the start of the 2026/27 winter season, which begins on October 25, as part of its strategy to reshape its European network and place greater emphasis on its Munich hub. The carrier plans to operate one daily flight between the two cities, down from fourteen weekly services during the previous winter season. At the same time, Lufthansa will maintain two daily flights between Munich and Zagreb, representing an average increase of three weekly services compared to last winter. Croatia Airlines will continue to operate three daily flights between Zagreb and Frankfurt, unchanged from the previous winter season. As previously reported, Lufthansa will suspend flights between Munich and Ljubljana this winter and has already discontinued services to Skopje.

Will it be the overnight or midday flight
ReplyDelete6:05 operated by AirDolomiti
DeleteSo all flights are operated by Dolomiti? Does that mean ZAG is losing LH mainline in winter?
DeleteNo, Lufthansa mainline will continue to operate flights from Munich.
Delete"place greater emphasis on its Munich hub" vs " Lufthansa will suspend flights between Munich and Ljubljana this winter"
ReplyDeleteLJU suspension is temporary due to Cityline closure. LH said they will focus more on MUC over FRA due to costs.
DeleteI noticed Lufthansa started selling JU flights that have an ITA code on them. Could this ZAG reduction be a sign of them slowly shifting focus to BEG & JU?
ReplyDeleteAfter all Lufthansa approved this first sign of cooperation with JU.
no
DeleteStill it's a sign that Lufthansa's attitude towards JU is changing. We read comments how they will terminate the ITA-JU codeshare but in the end they restarted cooperation with JU.
Deletewhich connection did you have a look at? the codeshare for example on FCO-SKP is not much of use as the price is double in comparison with a connection via ViE with OS
DeleteI looked for MXP-BEG for 07.10.2026, one way ticket via the LH app. It says ITA Airways operated by Air Serbia.
DeleteWhen will people realise that ZAG and BEG have almost no overlap as markets?
DeleteI dont think anyome stated as such?
DeleteLiterally no one said that
Delete"Could this ZAG reduction be a sign of them slowly shifting focus to BEG & JU?"
DeleteThis seems to imply a causation effect between ZAG and BEG where there is absolutely none.
The same day that the airport says it will raise prices.
ReplyDelete4 daily to FRA should be enough
ReplyDeleteSlowly but sure Lufti will cut all Ex-yu routes , Skopje was just beggining
ReplyDeleteOMG! We are doomed!
DeleteWell it's easy for them to cut ZAG when they have their loyal servant who doesn't mind flying at a loss to FRA and MUC to feed Mutti's hubs.
DeleteSKP was cut because here was too much capacity so passengers ran away from OS.
This is bizarre. We keep on reading how the EU economy is thriving and doing so well. So strange that they are cutting these flights instead of adding more of them.
