In Wednesday’s announcement, Lufthansa Group’s Senior Director – South Asia, Mr. George Ettiyil, 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% (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.”
With the new Hyderabad service, Lufthansa now offers direct connections from Germany to five destinations in India, including recently launched service between Munich and Bangalore.
