The Lufthansa airline, being one of the largest airlines in Europe, is constantly looking for ways to innovate, provide better service and continue to grow in the aeronautical industry, which is why they have reported the incorporation of a new entity that they have called “Ocean”.
During the last months by the COVID-19 this airline has had to make modifications in its service to be able to continue operating, as we saw in our previous article entitled Several commercial airlines make modifications from passenger planes to freighters, these changes have been in the interest of maintaining their services.

Emergence of “Ocean
This new entity that has incorporated Lufthansa called Ocean has been created to carry out long-distance flights to different vacation or entertainment places, they consider that in this way they will be able to reduce the complexity of the operations that they maintained, which was very fragmented for tourist flights, that is to say, Ocean arises with the idea of optimizing the service that Lufthansa offers for vacation destinations with a long distance.
Some experts have commented that it is possible that Lufthansa has planned to launch this new company in order to save costs, especially in employees, perhaps this is due to the crisis they are going through with the COVID-19 and the announcements given by the German government about the rescue of Lufthansa.
Objective of the new airline “Ocean”
Ocean will aim (as mentioned by Lufthansa) to provide new products, they have stressed that the main idea is to create a new line of air services that focus on the area of leisure and entertainment for customers, this will be based on the business model of Edelweiss.
Currently, Lufthansa is waiting for the air operator’s certificate for the new airline Ocean, they estimate that by 2022 they will start their services with a fleet of eleven aircraft, at the moment; there is still no information about the models or manufacturer of these units.
Routes of the new airline “Ocean”
As mentioned by Lufthansa the new Ocean airline will focus on short and long haul tourist routes, as mentioned previously, these flights will be operated from their hubs (an airport that an airline uses as a transfer point to cover its destinations) in Frankfurt and Munich, in addition with these flights they will be able to increase and improve the portfolio of Lufthansa and Eurowings.
This German group currently operates flights to long-haul tourist destinations from its low-cost branch called Eurowings and also under its main brand. That is why they have decided to join this service in a certain way; they have mentioned that at the moment of the activation of the Ocean operations its distribution would be to have four units that will be operating in the base located in Frankfurt, in addition, three units in Munich and finally four units in Dusseldorf.
