"Lufthansa Italia" launched

Lufthansa has launched its new "Lufthansa Italia" brand. The new airline blends traditional Lufthansa values, notably reliability and high quality, with Italian flair. Starting from February 2009, with an initial fleet of six aircraft, Lufthansa will be offering direct services from Milan/Malpensa in northern Italy to Barcelona, Brussels, Bucharest, Budapest, Lisbon, London, Madrid and Paris.

The passengers will be served by Italian flight attendants with Italian delicacies adding a note of originality to the in-flight menu. The infrastructure at Malpensa Airport will be successively upgraded to provide Lufthansa passengers with more service and comfort at the airport. Awaiting them from spring 2009 is an enhanced lounge product and fast-track passage through security.
