Lufthansa is increasing its schedule to South Africa with the seasonal and popular flights between Frankfurt and Cape Town being re-introduced from 31 October 2011. These additional daily non-stop flights will increase the airline’s capacity by 60% within five months.
“Operating the Boeing B747-400 to Cape Town will give us the additional capacity boost so needed during South Africa’s summer season,” says Axel Simon, Director Southern Africa for Lufthansa German Airlines and Swiss International Air Lines.
Besides the seasonal schedule to the Cape predominantly used by the leisure market, Lufthansa also runs a daily non-stop flight between Johannesburg and Frankfurt throughout the year using the Airbus A380. Since deploying this aircraft, the capacity per month has increased by more than 6000 seats.
