Lufthansa Unveils Nonstop Flights from Frankfurt to Buenos Aires

This winter, Lufthansa customers will benefit from additional services to South America. From 28 October 2007, when the winter timetable goes into effect, Lufthansa will operate five nonstop flights a week from Frankfurt to Buenos Aires and will thus once again be offering a direct connection to Argentina, without a stopover.

“Our customers have expressed a wish for this connection and I am delighted that we are able to offer it again. Overall, South America is showing strong, dynamic growth and many large German and European companies have branches there, particularly in Buenos Aires,” says Karl Ulrich Garnadt, a member of the Board of Lufthansa Passenger Airlines.

With a population of twelve million, Greater Buenos Aires is the largest metropolitan region in Argentina, and the second-largest in South America as a whole, after Sao Paulo. Nearly all of Germany’s blue-chip, DAX-listed companies have a branch within the catchments area of Buenos Aires.

As Lufthansa and SWISS have harmonized their timetables, they can offer passengers traveling to South America also convenient connections in Sao Paulo. SWISS flies daily from Zurich to Sao Paulo and from there on to Santiago de Chile.

Lufthansa also operates daily services from Frankfurt and Munich to Sao Paulo, so that passengers of both airlines can take the SWISS connecting flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago de Chile. Likewise, passengers arriving from Chile can fly to any of the two airlines’ three hubs in Europe.
