Lufthansa adds more long-haul routes after Air Berlin insolvency

Lufthansa is restarting long-haul flights from Berlin and growing the long-haul fleet of budget unit Eurowings, moving into the gap left by insolvent rival Air Berlin. Lufthansa will fly from Berlin to New York from November, basing a long-haul jet in the German capital for the first time since 2001, it said Wednesday. It will also increase the long-haul fleet of Eurowings to 10 A330 aircraft for summer 2018, against a planned seven by the end of this year. Air Berlin will end its remaining long-haul routes from Oct. 15 after leasing companies recalled their planes.<br/>
