It has approved plans for the transition of a more "economical type" of aircraft at Eurowings, its low-cost subsidiary, with an order for 10 Airbus A320ceos. "Replacing the current Eurowings fleet of Bombardier CRJ900 regional jets with modern A320ceo aircraft will further increase the Düsseldorf-based airline's unit cost advantage and will thereby improve its ability to compete with low-cost airlines in Europe," Lufthansa said in a statement. The airline said it intends to use its Wings concept to "cement its good market position in passenger traffic in its home markets of Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium in the long term, including point-to-point connections". It added that business in these routes, away from the major hubs, is "characterised by above-average growth in the leisure travel segment and by stiff competition from rapidly expanding low-cost airlines".
