The S20 routes see some interesting FCL shifts.

For me most interesting is the permanent change of FCL routes - very confusing for customers. HKG no FCL from FRA anymore (747-4); PHL and Charlotte gets FCL or DEL no FCL anymore.

Is LH planning to restart Khartoum soon? They are advertising flights online from the UK to the Sudanese capital in November 2019 once a week for Ł666 with the slogan “realise your dreams”. Lots of info too on what to visit in Sudan etc.

Also today, Air Canada announced it is suspending its summer seasonal, Ottawa-Frankfurt service. The last flight on this route will be operated on October 24, 2019. Customers travelling to Europe from Ottawa next summer will have an additional option to fly to Frankfurt on a new seasonal service provided by our Star Alliance partner Lufthansa, which will begin operating on May 16th, 2020 and end October 24, 2020.

In my case, every little contribution helps towards qualification... Luckily, Canadian highways aren’t that bad

Great news for Ottawa! That is a big plane though...add that to the fact that AC is going from 763 to 788 on YOW-LHR, I hope YOW can absorb the capacity!
On another related note, with all the recent LH and M&M action at YUL, is there any chance LH would consider opening its own lounge in YUL? Next summer, they'll be flying daily, or almost daily, on their own metal, from YUL to:
FRA
MUC
VIE
ZRH
BRU

Yeah I was surprised they didn't go with the A330, but I suspect it's because they didn't feel the premium demand was there to fill the A330's 42 J seats (vs. 30 for the A340).

I think the metal swap to LH is great news for YOW. It’s the first network European airline to fly to the Capital since KL left in 1996.

Seriously though, isn’t lack of terminal space a reason why AC still has no Signature lounge in YUL, despite flying Signature class out of there? Then I doubt LH would find a good spot either.

details of LH announcement
The LH announcement says YOW-FRA will be operated with an A340. Here are the details eff. May 2020:
Lufthansa in summer 2020 season plans to introduce Frankfurt – Ottawa service, opened for reservation yesterday (11SEP19). Lufthansa will operate this route 5 times a week from 16MAY20, replacing Air Canada’s seasonal service.
A340-300 aircraft to operate this route.
LH472 FRA1345 – 1605YOW 343 x35
LH 473 YOW17:50 - 07:15 x 35
This is a big step up from the aging B767s operated by AC. Also, 5 x per week is impressive!
While FRA is not my fav airport, LH is more likely to get a gate assignment!
Lufthansa adds Ottawa service from May 2020
