To meet the demand driven by the Easter holiday, Lufthansa decided to schedule a flight to Palma de Mallorca (PMI) with Boeing 747-8I from Frankfurt (FRA) and another with Airbus A350-900 from Munich (MUC).
The popular Balearic holiday destination will once again be the only European airport to receive Boeing 747 aircraft on an intra-European commercial passenger flight. Lufthansa would have scheduled the same service during the northern summer of 2021.
Both services were scheduled for April 9 only, offering 367 seats for Frankfurt under flight number LH 1158/1159 and 293 seats for Munich under designation LH 1796/1797.
According to the airline’s reservation system, more than 70% of the seats on these flights have been booked.
The Balearic and Canary Islands are experiencing more sustained growth than other European airports. German and British tourism in both regions is a very important part of their respective economies, representing 44% of Spain’s tourist income, according to information obtained through AENA.
According to data obtained by Aviacionline through Cirium, between April 8 and 18,
(PMI) will have 6,854 flights with an offer of more than 1,200,000 seats. Germany will be the main destination, connecting with 21 German cities in more than 2,100 scheduled services for 390,000 tourists.
Ryanair, Eurowings, and Vueling will be the largest operators at the airport with 1,852, 1,013, and 766 flights respectively on the aforementioned dates.
