Lufthansa Links London City with Berlin

The German capital Berlin is the latest destination in Lufthansa’s growing network from London City Airport. From January 14, 2008, Lufthansa will operate twice daily non-stop flights to Berlin-Tegel (thrice daily from the start of the summer timetable), offering the fastest connection between the two city centers and increasing the total number of weekly Lufthansa flights out of the Docklands airport from 66 to 78 weekly.

“The positive economic climate in the UK and the rest of Europe is resulting in a growing demand for new city routes serving the mobility needs of both UK and German business travelers”, said Marianne Sammann, Lufthansa’s General Manager UK & Ireland. “With Lufthansa’s new non-stop service, Europe’s emerging conference and exhibition metropolis, Berlin, is now just around the corner from London’s financial district and the perfect destination for this speedy new service.”

With a journey time of a little over 100 minutes, the new route will be operated by Lufthansa Regional partner, Eurowings, with British Aerospace BAe 146-200 jet aircraft seating up to 89 passengers.
