Lufthansa eyes non-metros

New Delhi: Lufthansa German Airlines is exploring plans to fly into two non-metro cities — Pune and Ahmedabad — next year as part of plans to spread its wings in the Indian skies.
"Besides expanding our footprint in the metro cities like Chennai and Hyderabad, we will look at smaller towns in western India next year. Pune and Ahmedabad are the best markets for this and we intend to start talks with the government on expanding into these cities next year," Lufthansa's GM (passenger sales) for India Werner Heesen said.
Prior to that, the firm will restart flights to Kolkata this December — over three decades after it pulled out of the market to focus on Delhi and Mumbai.
