Lufthansa Group has introduced a new $10 million lounge at Newark Liberty International Airport, enhancing the experience for premium passengers. The 6,370-square-foot lounge, located in Terminal B, caters to first-class and business-class travelers flying with Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, and Swiss International Air Lines. Additionally, passengers with Hon Circle or Senator status are granted access.

Lufthansa is set to debut its innovative Allegris aircraft interior on May 1, marking a significant enhancement in passenger experience aboard the German carrier's fleet. The rollout of this new cabin design will begin with the Airbus A350 aircraft, initially serving the Munich to Vancouver route. Subsequently, the Munich-Toronto route will feature the new interiors, followed by expansions to Munich-Chicago and Munich-Montreal over the summer.

Lufthansa has faced significant operational disruptions as ground staff at five German airports initiated a mass walkout. The 27-hour strike, which began early on February 7 and is set to last until the morning of February 8, involves ground employees represented by the Vereinigte Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft (Ver.di) union.
