Lufthansa Airlines Flight Booking

Lufthansa is Germany’s flag carrier and a founding member of Star Alliance, the world’s largest airline alliance. The airline’s roots go back to 1926, though the modern Deutsche Lufthansa AG was re-established in 1953 after operations were rebuilt in the post-war years. 

Lufthansa Group is headquartered in Cologne, while day-to-day flight operations are centered at the Lufthansa Aviation Center at Frankfurt Airport, its primary hub, with a major secondary hub at Munich. Beyond the mainline Lufthansa brand, the group also owns Swiss International Air Lines, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and a majority stake in ITA Airways.
