General information Lufthansa
Its main hub is Frankfurt International Airport and its secondary hub is Munich Airport, while, following the merger with the Swiss airline Swiss International Air Lines, a very important third hub due to its strategic position will become the airport Zurich in Switzerland.
Lufthansa's air fleet consists of over 300 planes with around 92,000 employees in total distributed in each geographical area. It is part of the Star Alliance, of which it is one of the founding members, which represents one of the largest airline alliances worldwide. A significant part of the German airline's turnover is represented by the freight sector.
The founding of Lufthansa dates back to 1926 following the merger of the Deutsche Aero Lloyd or Dal and Junkers Luftverkehr airlines. Originally the name was Deutsche Luft Hansa Aktiengesellschaft but was later abbreviated to Lufthansa.
Lufthansa was the first buyer of the Boeing 737 and in May 2004, in collaboration with the Boeing manufacturer, the company started an innovative internet connection service on board the airplanes.
To dispose of the often congested traffic at Frankfurt airport, in June 2003 Lufthansa inaugurated the new Terminal 2 at Munich airport which represents the first terminal in Europe partially owned by an airline.
The fleet currently consists of the following 296 aircraft with an average age of 10 years.
