Lufthansa breaks UK records
Lufthansa enjoyed a record breaking year in 2011 carrying more passengers to and from the UK & Ireland than ever before.
The biggest increase was in Scotland where the new service between Aberdeen and Frankfurt saw passenger numbers grow by more than 25%. Dublin and Birmingham also saw significant increases.
Overall there was an increase of almost 12% taking passenger numbers to 4,151,363.
Christian Schindler, Lufthansa’s general manager said: "We have reaffirmed our commitment to the UK & Ireland by starting the new service from Aberdeen to Frankfurt and announcing new services to Berlin from both Birmingham and Manchester as part of a major investment at the new Berlin-Brandenburg airport which is due to open in June 2012.
"As well as offering passengers quick and easy access to many of the main German cities, we continue to ensure that our flights to and from the UK & Ireland offer the shortest possible onward connection times to our worldwide network."
