Lufthansa launches new flights from the UK

Lufthansa will introduce a new three times a day service from Aberdeen to its Frankfurt hub in October.

Operated with a 100-seater Embraer E190 aircraft in a two-class configuration, the service has been timed to allow passengers to access the quickest onward connections to Lufthansa's worldwide network.

"This new service from Europe's oil and energy capital is a direct response to business traveller demand and will strengthen Lufthansa's position in the world's key oil and energy markets where we serve almost 80 destinations in Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia and the Americas", said Marianne Sammann, Lufthansa general manager UK and Ireland.
