This is indeed very good news. LH just need to add a late evening flight FRA-AAL and early morning flight from AAL to cover the basic needs of business travellers in the Northern part of Jutland.

I believe it is a response to KL recently commencing AAL-AMS service.

Lufthansa in last week’s schedule update has reversed planned aircraft changes for Frankfurt – Rio de Janeiro route, from 25OCT15. Latest schedule update shows the airline to continue operating Boeing 747-400 aircraft, instead of 747-8I.

Despite this adjustment, it is possible further changes may occur in the next few months.

LH500 FRA2215 – 0705+1GIG 744 D
LH501 GIG2355 – 1420+1FRA 744 D

Lufthansa continues his operation to MCT to be via AUH but as a "technical stop" only.

Why would you continue to fly via AUH when you just announced pulling out of this market all together?

A330 operating would surely be able to fly nonstop FRA-MCT and I guess crew rest cannot me an issue in a safe country like Oman?

Might have to something do with preserving the slot, or some right to reopen the route on short notice.

Still, making the route at least 1.5hrs longer than what a direct flight would be.. burning lots of petrol + extra crew time + less attractive for customers

Just doesn't make much sense.. either pull out completely or keep it as a normal stop - a "technical stop" just doesn't make much sense in this context.. they're losing all pax that would want to go to AUH only, and for those going to MCT, on a flight time that is still taking so long that taking any of the ME3 via DXB/DOH/AUH won't be that much slower anyway!?

Seems very Dilbert'esque for me..

Could it be cargo?

One thing I noticed that I didn't see announced was the aircraft operating FRA-PHL. It was I believe 4x weekly 346 and 3x weekly 343 in Jun-July. Then 7x weekly 343 in late August. However, it has been back at ~3 or 4x weekly on the 346 for at least a month.
