[A400]

I think daily should be the next thing. Its also good to see passengers in business both ways. Also plenty of transferring passengers.

That’s an idea aswell. Make it daily or use a larger plane.

Friend travelled to Cologne yesterday afternoon on LH 969 to Frankfurt., reported flight more or less full. It seems the route has caught on well.

Does seem like the route is doing well!

It is, I think it will likely have a frequency increase. It shows that Liverpool has needed a hub link for a long time.

 

[Jerry]

If not more frequency maybe they might start using bigger aircraft instead.

I have heard a rumour on frequency, but I think the E 190 would be a good idea, a bit more capacity.

Lufthansa used the larger E 190 aircraft today.

They should use an A320 for this route seems popular.

Load Factor by my calculation are as follows:

May - 50.48%
June - 56.80%
July - 61.77%
August - 76.98%

Good to see a consistent improvement.

Lufthansa will increase capacity out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) by 50% from next summer offering six weekly departures.
Extra services will start on May 2, 2023, almost 12 months to the day when it first started its route to Frankfurt. This was the first connection between Liverpool and a global hub since KLM’s link to Amsterdam which closed in 2012.
It offers onward routes to 150 global destinations via the German hub. Lufthansa says the level of demand for the service has prompted the expansion.
Heinrich Lange, Lufthansa’s senior director sales northern Europe, said: “This new Lufthansa connection from Liverpool to Frankfurt has already enjoyed a very good level of demand in its first year. Liverpool has also proved popular as a new destination.
“For next summer we are now doubling our number of flights to six per week, increasing our flexibility as passengers will have more flight connections available to them via our Frankfurt hub. Liverpool will see even more incoming guests as well.”
This news comes just a week after four new routes were announced for Liverpool Airport for next summer, three from Ryanair and one from easyJet. The easyJet route will also see an extra aircraft and 40 new jobs out of LJLA.
Increased frequency on the Frankfurt route means that Liverpool will connect with even more destinations, along with offering more departure choices for existing connections over Frankfurt. These include Dubai, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.
Liverpool Airport chief executive John Irving added: ”This is tremendous news not just for the airport but for the city region and beyond.
“This will enable passengers to easily travel to more global destinations via Frankfurt with the benefit of starting their journey from Liverpool. It is also good news for the region’s visitor economy, further opening up access for visitors to Liverpool city region.”
