Lufthansa to Offer Cheap Flights to Frankfurt from Aberdeen

German flag carrier Lufthansa has recently announced plans for new cheap flights to Frankfurt from Aberdeen Airport this autumn.

Starting on 30 October, Lufthansa will begin flying three times a day between Aberdeen and Frankfurt. This is part of the airline's plans to expand the number of services that it offers to the UK and the number of cheap flights to Germany's cities from British airports.

The new Aberdeen-Frankfurt route will link the major oil port on Scotland's east coast with the Frankfurt transport hub – and thus to the rest of the extensive global Lufthansa network, the carrier pointed out. The service will be operated by its regional subsidiary Lufthansa CityLine, which will utilise up-to-date Embraer 190 aircraft, which have the capacity to seat 100 passengers in business and economy-class cabins.

Lufthansa said it was particularly pleased to be opening up a route to Aberdeen, due to its status as a centre of the international oil industry, close as it is to the offshore North Sea oil fields.

"With this new connection to the Scottish port and 'Europe's oil capital', we are incorporating a new Oil & Energy destination in the array of cities we serve, which are highly important in the energy industry," said Lufthansa German Airlines Board Member Kay Kratky. "The Scottish city is also an attractive destination for leisure travellers and Scotland fans. With Aberdeen, we are additionally expanding our services between Germany and Great Britain."

After 30 October, Lufthansa will operate some 434 cheap flights a week, serving Heathrow, London City, Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh airports.

Lufthansa, Finnair, Cathay most innovative airlines | Business ...

Amsterdam: Eight global carriers that fly to India, including Lufthansa, Finnair and Cathay Pacific, have been ranked among the 11 most innovative carriers in the world by a website here that analyses consumer trends in the aviation industry.

The list of Airlinetrends.com includes All Nipon, Emirates, KLM, Virgin and Asiana which all fly to India. Also on the list are Air New Zealand, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines, but they do not have operations in and out of India.

The Netherlands-based portal ranked the airlines on various parameters of innovativeness like brand campaigns and services which have also been an inspiration to other airlines.

The website described Finnair as one that has found itself a niche in transferring traffic between Europe and Asia, including India, a strategy that has proved to be successful.

"Finnair's innovativeness stems from its desire to serve customers even better in a way that's tailored to their needs," said Arja Suominen, who serves the carrier's corporate responsibility and communications department.

The research also commended the modern wellness services of the Finnair spa and saunas as well as the stylish Finnair lounge located in Helsinki Airport. Last week, Finnair flew the world's longest commercial flight to date using biofuel.

In the next few weeks, it will fly a series of four flights altogether using biofuels in both engines of its aircraft.

Lufthansa, the portal said, has products that caters to both the low-cost and premium segments, and has emerged as a strong brand associated with quality, thoroughness and innovation, resulting in high-yield premium traffic.

Cathaty, on the other hand, was hit by the financial crisis since it banks heavily on business travellers, but responded well with some innovative steps such as a fee for extra legroom in economy class, the portal added.
