  LTU

LTU wet-leased BAe 146-300 D-AWBA (msn E3134) from WDL Aviation during 2006-2007.

  Lufthansa

Several subsidiaries of Lufthansa operate BAe 146s or Avro RJs, including CityLine, Eurowings, and Air Dolomiti. CityLine had earlier operated its Avro RJ85s in full Lufthansa colors, but it currently flies them under the Lufthansa Regional brand. Eurowings' 146s are also part of the Lufthansa Regional network, but do not carry those titles because of scope problems. Air Dolomiti operates its 146s under its own brand. At one time, Lufthansa had also contracted for British Midland Commuter, Debonair, and Flightline to operate BAe 146s on its behalf.
