From January 1, 2013, Lufthansa flights within Germany and Europe, excluding those from its hubs in Frankfurt and Munich, will be merged with its low-cost airline Germanwings, it said on Wednesday.

The service will carry over 18 million passengers in its first year. Lufthansa (LHAG.DE), Germany's largest airline, carries around 106 million passengers a year. (Reporting by Victoria Bryan)
