Lufthansa celebrates 40th anniversary of flights to Korea

Lufthansa German Airlines celebrates its 40th anniversary of flights from South Korea to Germany and is offering four weeks of special fares to major European cities, including Frankfurt, where it has operated for the last 40 years. The offers are also bookable for those who depart from 8 cities in Korea with Lufthansa Rail & Air.

Lufthansa, as one of the longest-serving European airlines in Korea, has been flying between Seoul and Frankfurt without suspension for four decades. In addition to a Frankfurt service, it also connects Korea with Europe and beyond every day together with a sister Lufthansa Seoul-Munich flight. In addition, this year, as a part of Lufthansa Group, Swiss International Air Lines has added a new service on the Seoul-Zurich route, providing even more convenient connections for Korean travelers.

Over the past 40 years, this European airline was the first to introduce and operate the latest and largest aircraft, including the A380, B747-8 and A350, on its Korean routes. Furthermore, Lufthansa also offers a wide range of customized services for Korean customers through localized services such as Korean cabin crew, Korean infights meals and Korean entertainment programs. In addition, Lufthansa has been at the forefront of providing convenience for Korean travelers by introducing various digital services to the Korean market, including the first onboard internet service in Korea and the Lufthansa App, which was recently awarded as the airline's best app in the world.

In addition, Lufthansa recently launched Lufthansa Rail & Air, offering travelers the option to connect Seoul with Europe by combining KTX trains and Lufthansa international flights in eight cities in Korea, including Busan. Moreover, as the first and exclusive foreign airlines in Korea, the airline opened a Lufthansa check-in counter at Seoul Station City Airport Terminal earlier this year, to provide convenience for passengers traveling by train as well as those traveling from Seoul to Incheon International Airport.

According to General Manager Korea of Lufthansa Group Airlines, Leandro Tonidandel:
“As we celebrate this 40-year milestone in Korea, we are grateful for the trust and loyalty of our Korean customers and partners. From expanding our routes from/to Korea to pioneering sustainable travel solutions, we’ve grown together with Korea’s dynamic spirit. Together, we’re not just shaping the future of travel, but doing so with purpose and a shared vision for global impact. Here’s to the next 40 years of growth, partnership, and innovation and Lufthansa, as a premium airline, keeps striving to provide more global yet localized services for the Korean market.
