Lufthansa says that it is taking “extraordinary measures” in order to respond to a “significant increase in booking demand for flights to Palma de Mallorca from both Frankfurt and Munich”, which have increased 25 times between April and the beginning of June 2021.
The airline will be operating a Boeing 747-8 from Frankfurt to Palma de Mallorca four Saturdays in a row during the upcoming summer vacation in Hesse. Additionally, the airline also plans to operate an Airbus A350 from Munich to the Balearic Island at the start of the summer vacation in Bavaria. Although these routes are normally operated by an Airbus A321, on 31 July, two wide-body Lufthansa aircraft will be arriving on Palma de Mallorca.
Lufthansa states that it will be offsetting the CO2 emissions generated by these “extraordinary flights”.
