AB tried to take on LH in DUS by offering more long haul flights with a premium product that was more aimed at business travellers. LH then placed 3 330/340s on TATL routes at DUS. They are still there (flew DUS-EWR on Sat), but it never struck me that the AB long haul model did grew much beyond the charter flights of LTU which they took over.
