German aviation group Lufthansa Group is preparing to launch a new project: City Airlines will operate flights on intra-European routes from a hub in Munich.

The airline aims to expand the group's European route network using the Airbus fleet and working closely with other structures of the Lufthansa group, including the regional unit CityLine.

New carrier will reportedly operate daily flights to Europe's major cities and some "outlying regions" from Munich Airport, which is Lufthansa's second largest hub after Frankfurt am Main, thus providing connections for Lufthansa flights.

New division will operate exclusively Airbus aircraft on short and medium haul routes. The head of the Lufthansa Group, Carsten Spohr, mentioned that the group intends to issue an air operator certificate for a "second CityLine" - an airline with a similar fleet and crews that previously operated in the defunct Germanwings (stopped flying in April 2022).
