North America has always been a cornerstone of Lufthansa Group’s operations. CEO Carsten Spohr referred to it as “the backbone of aviation” during Tuesday’s US Chamber Global Aerospace Summit in Washington. It will not be a coincidence that the airline group announced a further expansion of its transatlantic network on the same day.
For the 2024 summer season, Lufthansa announced a new service from Frankfurt to Minneapolis from June 4. Two days later on June 6, the airline will launch services to Raleigh-Durham. Both services will be five times a week.
