Lufthansa City Airlines Flights in 2024<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

City Airlines will operate in conjunction with Lufthansa CityLine (CL). The recruitment of operational staff will initiate in November 2023, targeting pilots and cabin crew members required for the launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening the competitiveness of the short-haul network is a critical aspect of enhancing Lufthansa Group’s market position and supporting the planned growth of the long-haul segment within the German <\/a>market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure City Airlines’ long-term viability, the recruitment process for cockpit roles is considering English-speaking pilots, and candidates with prior experience will be given preference during the selection process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group employees interested in transitioning to City Airlines can explore offers that include voluntary transition conditions, with a particular focus on Lufthansa CityLine staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
