There seems to be a few articles on the interweb that Lufthansa will increase Manchester capacity by 11% this summer compared to last, however, I honestly can't see where this 11% comes from as MUC seems to be 2xA320 and 1xA319 per day and Frankfurt 2xA321, 1xA320 and 1xA319 per day on most weeks. This is almost identical to last summer.

Given they gave up Stuttgart and handed Hamburg and Dusseldorf to Germanwings (also worth noting DUS is down from 4 per day to 3 per day), where this 11% increase manifests its self from, I have no idea as one would assume that to counter the reductions and come out with 11% increase on the other side, there would be quite a noticeable increase in flights/capacity somewhere, but I just don't see it.

For 11% increase I would have expected all 4 FRA flights to be A321's and MUC all A320's at the very least.

Very confused.
