Lufthansa: Onboard sales of fragrances and cigarettes discontinued

The decision applies to the core Lufthansa brand. Sales have already been discontinued on certain routes, and starting in September, there will be no in-flight sales across the entire network. Lufthansa has not offered any merchandise on short-haul routes for some time.

The range of products in the webshop and in shops at the airports remains unchanged.

High demand for holiday flights

Other German airlines do not want to follow Lufthansa's example. Tuifly reported strong demand, especially on longer tourist flights, such as to the Canary Islands. The onboard shop is an important part of the travel experience. Condor also does not currently plan to discontinue in-flight sales. Profitability is regularly reviewed and shows good sales, particularly at holiday destinations.
