The new airline will combine reliability and high quality with Italian flair in its corporate credo. Lufthansa Italia will be an Italian subsidiary of Lufthansa subject to Italian law.The new Lufthansa services ex Milan will strengthen the LH position in a major European market and help shore up transit traffic through the Frankfurt and Munich hubs.
On Monday, the 02.02.09 at 06:15 clock, Lufthansa started the official operation of the Lufthansa Italia from the location Milan with flight LH1790 to Barcelona. Flights to Brussels, Budapest, Bucharest and Madrid will be added to the timetable a few weeks later. London (Heathrow) and Lisbon will be drawn into the route network with the start of the 2009 summer flight schedules at the end of March. For the operation of the three new Italian aims with (Rome, Naples and Bari) Lufthansa Italia increases its fleet with two further airbus A319. The fleet contains altogether eight A319 with Economy and business class.
The Milan catchment area is of major importance by virtue of its size, quality and dynamism: A total of about 9.8 million people live in the Milan/Lombardy metropolitan region. It ranks as Italy’s leading economic region. The launch of the new brand is an indication of Lufthansa’s clear commitment to the region. Italian speaking flight attendants in newly designed uniforms for Lufthansa Italia as well as an Italian inflight service concept will highlight the ’italianate’ provenance of the new carrier and help decisively spur the success of our planned expansion in the Italian market.
We appreciate your registration for future job openings as a Copilot or Captain (m/f) on A319.
