Lufthansa has updated their timetable to reflect that the A350 will remain on routes from Munich to both Mumbai and Delhi beyond this Summer.
Initially, the A350 was scheduled to serve the routes until the end of the 2017 Summer timetable, but now the schedule reflects that the A350 will remain on these routes for the Winter 2017/18 schedule. This suggests that the A350 will be flying to these destinations through at least March of 2018.
Earlier today, Lufthansa touted the virtues and benefits of the A350 that we’ve heard all along. However they are finally beginning to hint at where the new birds will fly to once they begin to enter service in January 2017.
The new piece of news was the fact that the first routes that will see the A350 appear to be Boston and Delhi. Keep in mind that the A350s will be a 3-class aircraft, comprised of Business, Premium Economy, and Economy Cabins. First Class will not be offered on ANY A350.
Since we are still 9 months away from even the most optimistic predictions regarding entry into service, I expect there to be several more changes to LH’s initial plans.
