Lufthansa begins daily non-stop service from Mumbai

By Our Special Correspondent

New Delhi April 3. Lufthansa German Airlines today announced the commencement of its Boeing 747-400 daily non-stop services between Mumbai and Frankfurt from April 1.

The two additional frequencies from India's industrial and commercial centre has made the airline the only one to offer a daily non-stop service to Frankfurt. The Lufthansa's vice-president, Asia and Pacific, Manfred Reimer, said, ``With the introduction of our Mumbai-Frankfurt daily services, travellers from Maharashtra and Gujarat now benefit from more choices of convenient connections to Europe and beyond via Frankfurt.''The two new services are as a result of the bilateral negotiations held last year between India and Germany.

The airline has added five new frequencies to India since September last year— hree Bangalore-rankfurt flights (a new destination) in September 2001 and now two Mumbai-Frankfurt flights. The airline now offers 20 flights a week between India and Germany, with daily flights out of Mumbai and New Delhi and three flights each from Chennai and Bangalore.

In addition, Lufthansa and Air India have a code-share agreement which enhances the cooperation between the two airlines with three code-share flights out of Mumbai and four out of Delhi.
