Lufthansa plans to begin flying the Airbus A340-300 to Raleigh/Durham (RDU).

From January 1 to March 28, FRA-RDU flights are scheduled to switch from the A330 to the A340-300.

Lufthansa had last-minute swaps to the A340 before, but this marks the first regular service.

That kind of is their own fault? They are welcome to start flying STL/RDU/AUS-FRA, SAN-MUC.

United CEO Scott Kirby on stage with @briansumers.com at #GlobalEXPO. Some quality sound bites so far. Among them, "We [the United States] have a huge trade deficit in long-haul international air travel." Notes foreign flag carriers have way more seats despite way more US-originating traffic.

The clearest sign is what happened after launch. I found 16 routes that later added frequency: RDU–KEF and BNA–LHR reached daily; CLE–DUB hit 6x; STL–FRA reached 5x.

The old map depended on U.S. hubs. The new one is deepening through European ones.
