To strengthen its foothold in the Indian aviation market, Lufthansa, a German airline, has introduced direct flights between Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, and Frankfurt, Germany. The new service will begin operations on January 17.
As the leading European carrier in India, Lufthansa has expanded its direct connections from Germany to five destinations in the country, with Hyderabad-Frankfurt being the latest addition to its global network.
Commenting on the new connection, George Ettiyil, senior director of South Asia, said, “With our new Hyderabad-Frankfurt service we now offer Indian passengers 64 weekly flights to our hubs in Europe and onward connections to the biggest network on the European continent.”
“As we launch Hyderabad, our capacity to India has increased by 14 percent (relative to 2019), making it the fastest growing major market for Lufthansa. With Bangalore-Munich and now Hyderabad-Frankfurt services, we have launched 2 new routes in the past 3 months, recognizing South India’s growing relevance and demonstrating the strong overall importance of India to the Lufthansa Group,” he added.
Lufthansa currently has 700 employees in India and has been operational for around 60 years.
Its latest connection to the Indian City of Pearls will benefit both business as well as leisure seekers alike. Hyderabad has transformed into India’s fourth-largest city, emerging as a technological, aerospace, and pharmaceutical hub. The city’s growing economic landscape is home to multiple multinational corporations, including Google, Microsoft, Boeing, and Airbus.
