Lufthansa would increase its total number of flights between India and Germany to 35 from February 18 and add Hyderabad as its fifth destination.
"Lufthansa will add three more flights taking the number to 35 between India and Germany from February 18 and add Hyderabad as its fifth destination," the German airlines general manager (passenger sales India and director South Asia) Werner Heesen told PTI on the sidelines of a business session organised by Indo-German Chamber of Commerce in Mumbai on Monday.
Earlier speaking at the session, Heesen said it would fly 42 flights per week by the end of 2007 and also explore new destinations in due course.
"The market share of Lufthansa has shot up to 12.3 per cent in 2004 from 8.5 per cent in 2002. We are planning to have daily flights to all Lufthansa destinations in India by 2007," he said.
The company would also extend the services of its catering division - Lufthansa Sky Chef - to Hyderabad, he said, adding Sky Chef now offers services at Bangalore.
Referring to an MoU with Air-India for cooperation on air traffic, Heesen said both airlines were aiming at further expanding air traffic between India and Germany.
"Lufthansa will further strengthen its position in India by rolling out a new premium product," he added.
However, Heesen did not divulge the details of the new product.
