Lufthansa Group celebrates 55 years connecting Osaka with Germany
With a tradition that extends more than five
decades, Lufthansa Group celebrates 55 years connecting Japan’s Kansai region
with Germany. Described by many as the cultural center and
the historical heart of Japan, the Kansai region - including Kyoto, Osaka, Nara
and Kobe - has had a direct connection to the European nation of Germany since
1969 thanks to Lufthansa German Airlines.
While a lot has changed in the past 55 years, the
relationship between Lufthansa Group and Japan remains strong and continues to
grow. Late last year Lufthansa reintroduced Japanese catering in
all cabins on flights between Japan and Germany (and vice versa), while sister
airline SWISS introduced Japanese catering in Business Class for connections
between Switzerland and Tokyo (and vice versa).
The Lufthansa Group network into Japan includes
direct connections to Haneda, Narita and Osaka airports with 31 weekly flights
during the 2024 summer schedule. In fact, connections from Munich
to Kansai airport will be increased significantly this year. According to Larry
Ryan, Senior Director Sales, Japan and South Korea:
“Based on customer needs, we’re extremely pleased
to be able to return to daily operations from Kansai to Munich, enabling
connections via our 5-star hub to the entire European continent and
beyond. This is particularly exciting as we see so many of our
partners gearing up for Expo’25 in the Kansai area.”
In recognition of Japan’s strong heritage and our
deep ties to the country, Lufthansa Group is pleased to commemorate this
important anniversary by increasing capacity and strengthening our investment
in the Kansai region of Japan.
