Lufthansa is addressing delays in aircraft deliveries by shifting Airbus A350-900 capacity to its Frankfurt hub. 

The German carrier says four A350s have been transferred ahead of the summer season. 

Another pair will join them in May and July.

Lufthansa is transferring six A350-900s to Frankfurt

The initial aircraft are serving long-haul routes to Seoul and Shanghai, while the others will operate to Denver and Seattle.

Chief executive Jens Ritter says the airline is “closing a gap” caused by late aircraft deliveries.

Lufthansa has not specified the aircraft types held up. 

But the carrier is expecting to take 61 new aircraft by the end of 2027.

It has 30 A350s operating at Munich and 14 more are due to arrive by 2029.
