"Lufthansa Considering Dedicated Airline For Asian/Mid Eastern Destinations
Interesting comments coming from Lufthansa today during a briefing in New York.
Lufthansa’s CFO Simone Menne suggested that ‘LH’ is investigating alternatives to help it be more competitive against rival carriers from Asia and the Middle East. As part of this strategic review, it was mentioned that Lufthansa would consider created a dedicated Low Cost Carrier (LCC) that would specialize in long haul routes.
For those of you not familiar with the concept of an “LCC”, it is basically an airline that operates with a minimum of amenities in an attempt to deliver the lowest possible fares. Lufthansa’s ‘germanwings’ is an example of an LCC, and in the case of germanwings, it operates primarily within Europe. Most LCC’s that offer long haul services are usually single cabin aircraft offering only economy class fares. In addition, LCC’s tend to be ‘a-la-carte’ airlines that charge fees for additional passenger services and perks.
