Even RYR withdrew their application for slots in MUC for summer 2017. They said that the slot available would not enable them to turn the flights fast enough and that the time slots potentially left (in between the 4-5 waves LH has each day) are not attractive to them.
DY is still in MUC, but relatively expensive. They fly to a lot of sun&sand destination but ask for the same price (~300€/pax) as Lufty.
The new EW/AB timetable is slowly coming in ahead of the launch on 22DEC and squarely aimed at U2/DY/HV/VY:
MUC-CTA 2/7
MUC-AMS 6/7
MUC-BSL 6/7
MUC-CAG 1/7
MUC-FAO 2/7
MUC-GVA 6/7
MUC-HER 2/7
MUC-IBZ 2/7
MUC-STN 6/7
MUC-NAP 2/7
MUC-NCE 5/7
MUC-OLB 3/7
MUC-PMI 5/7
MUC-CDG 6/7
MUC-FCO 5/7
MUC-GLA 2/7
MUC-EDI 2/7

Does that mean that LH will pull out of the routes that are going to be served by EW/AB out of MUC (and other stations)?

I think they had to agree to that as part of the AB/EW deal. In any case I think the EW/AB flights will go head to head with HV/VY/DY/U2 flights.

time to reboot this subtopic!
No longer than 3 years I assume. Based on instinct not facts yet.

TK is really struggling right now, with a 10-20% reduction in international traffic after years of double digit growth. Which shouldn't kill them, considering the latter, but they have 30-40 new aircraft on order for the next two years...
In other news some analysts now talk of a 20€ target for the LHA:GR stock.

I had an interesting chat with a LH purser in the last days. She said that they have been presented with the new business seat (concept). It will come with the 777 in 2020 and will have different business class seats - not one standard seat anymore for one business class cabin. Some will be more closed up than others.
I wonder if they do different pricing for this too (this is my comment).
