Lufthansa German Airlines is the number one European airline in Asia-Pacific, offering the most flights between Europe and Asia-Pacific. Lufthansa network information to 194 destinations in 79 countries (European winter 2008). With over 100,000 staff worldwide, Lufthansa is one of the world’s leading long-haul and European carriers with a group fleet of over 500 aircraft.
Lufthansa’s Australian headquartered is in Sydney, with sales teams located in Melbourne and Brisbane. Melbourne hosts one of Lufthansa’s nine customer service call centres worldwide.
Lufthansa, together with its Star Alliance partners offers more than 160 flights per week from all major Australian cities via 12 gateways in Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Seoul, Ho Chi Min City, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, Johannesburg, Vancouver, Los Angeles and San Francisco, connecting with Lufthansa flights to over 116 European destinations via Frankfurt and Munich.
In 2005, the integration of Swiss International Air Lines and Lufthansa received regulatory approval. SWISS currently serves 76 destinations in 42 countries. In 2007 Lufthansa and SWISS joined offices at Lufthansa’s premises in 143 Macquarie Street. Lufthansa’s main hubs are Frankfurt and Munich.
In Frankfurt, Lufthansa was the first airline worldwide to build their own terminal for First Class guests. It offers privileges that are exceptional and completely unique in this format, like personal assistant and Mercedes S-class and Porsche Cayenne limousine service directly to the aircraft.
A year before the arrival of the Airbus A380 at Frankfurt airport, boarding will take place for the first time there on two levels already. Passengers can board the aircraft conveniently, calmly and without queuing by means of generously proportioned passengers bridges, each of which has four escalators.
Munich belongs to the Top 5 airport worldwide and was voted the best airport in Europe for the fourth consecutive year and was also ranked second world-wide in the “Best Transit Airport” category. It moved up to third place in the “Best Airport Dining” category. The results owe much to Terminal 2, which is used by Lufthansa, Star Alliance and Lufthansa’s partner airlines.
Lufthansa German Airlines introduced five weekly non-stop flights between Singapore and Munich, effective June 2008. These additional flights will expand Lufthansa’s network in the Asia-Pacific region, further linking the region to Lufthansa’s strategic hub in Munich.
Under the new schedule, Lufthansa’s flight LH791 departs Singapore (except Tuesday and Sunday) in the morning, arriving in Munich in the afternoon on the same day. The return flight LH790 leaves Munich (except Monday and Saturday) in the early afternoon, arriving in Singapore in the early morning on the next day.
Lufthansa is a founding member of Star Alliance, the world’s biggest airline alliance.  Star Alliance has 21 member airlines servicing some 800 destinations in over 150 countries.  The airline has developed one of the most comprehensive alliance networks in the industry, offering customers countless advantages – among them, the world’s biggest route network.
