Lufthansa strengthens decentralised European traffic

FRANKFURT (Deutsche Lufthansa AG) - Lufthansa is strengthening its competitiveness in decentralised European traffic - on routes which do not pass through the Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich hubs - and bundling responsibilities and resources. The successful "Future European Operations" programme is to be expanded through addition of major operational functions and integrated in a new organisational unit from 1 October 2005. Responsibility for the new unit will be assumed by Dr. Christoph Klingenberg, who has been in charge of the "Future European Operations" programme since 2003.
