New Delhi: Europe will soon be a budget flight away from India. German mega airline Lufthansa's newly-launched low cost international airline is going to begin flights to India.
Carsten Spohr, Lufthansa Group's chairman of the executive board and CEO, said here on Wednesday: "Germans love to go to Goa. There is no direct service. So we can look at these kinds of destinations." He, however, did not give any date when this service will start.
Lufthansa, which has for now ruled out investing in an Indian airline, is deploying the latest long haul aircraft - Airbus A-350 on India routes. While this aircraft has been deployed on Munich-Delhi route, Mumbai is also going to get this equipment on Munich flights. "This state-of-the-art aircraft (A-350-900) marks a generational change on long-haul routes with 25% less fuel consumption, 25% less carbon dioxide emissions and 50% less noise," he said.
Spohr said Brussels Airlines, in which Lufthansa recently acquired a stake, will start flights between Brussels and Mumbai this March. Lufthansa will also name one of its Airbus A-380 aircraft 'Delhi' in March and increase the frequency of flights between Pune and Germany. "The first thing that we do after buying Brussels Airlines is to help them fly to India," Spohr said.
