Lufthansa cancels Dusseldorf-Chicago winter service

Lufthansa is relegating its Dusseldorf-Chicago service to a summer seasonal operation. The German airline had been scheduled to fly between the two cities five-times weekly this winter. But now flights LH436/437 will not operate between October 25 and March 26, thereby ending what was a year-round service, reports airlineroute.net. This winter, Lufthansa will also replace the A340-300 aircraft that it flies between Dusseldorf and Newark to an A330-300. Last week, it emerged that the carrier will stop flying to Jakarta this winter (see news, June 19). lufthansa.com Graham Smith
