Pune-Frankfurt flights resume service

While the volcanic eruption had brought air traffic in almost all parts of Europe to a standstill, operations resumed on Tuesday. In Pune, however the only flight to Europe, Lufthansa’s Pune-Frankfurt flight resumed operations from Sunday.
Pune has only two international flights at present. One of them is Lufthansa’s Pune-Frankfurt and the other one is Air India’s Pune-Dubai flight. However the Pune-Frankfurt flight had stopped operations because of the ash from Iceland’s volcanic eruption.
Finally when airspace got cleared, the airline started its long-route operations, including flights to India. But the Pune-Frankfurt flight did not start its operations from Tuesday as the airline wanted to make some changes in the existing aircraft.
Ketika Manohar, Consulting Associate, Lufthansa said, “Earlier the Pune-Frankfurt flight operated by Lufthansa had only business class seats. There were no economy-class flights. But looking at the market demands the airline officials decided to include some economy-class seats in the existing flight.
