LufthansaLufthansa proudly marks a significant milestone in its history: the 65th anniversary of its inaugural flight from Hamburg to Bangkok. This milestone highlights the airline’s long-standing commitment to the Thai market and Mekong region, connecting cultures, facilitating travel, and fostering business relationships between Germany and Thailand.
On November 1, 1959, Lufthansa’s first flight to Thailand took off from Hamburg, Germany, opening a new chapter in international air travel. LH640, then known as the Super Constellation, took off for the Far East from Hamburg via Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Rome, Cairo, Karachi and Calcutta to Thailand on a spectacular journey that has lasted nearly 2 days. Since then, the airline has continuously expanded its service offerings, ensuring a seamless travel experience for passengers. Today, Lufthansa operates multiple weekly flights between Europe and Thailand, providing exceptional service and convenience to travelers via its hubs in Munich, & Frankfurt. In addition to the mainline carrier, the airlines of the Lufthansa Group connect Thailand with Europe via additional hubs in Zurich and Vienna with up to 31 weekly flights between Thailand and Europe.
According to Lufthansa Group Vice President Asia Pacific & Joint Ventures East, Felipe Bonifatti:
“This anniversary is a testament to our dedication to serving our customers and connecting them with the world. Bangkok has been – and remains – a vital destination for us, and we look forward to continuing to enhance our services as we celebrate the rich Lufthansa history in Thailand. With a legacy that stretches more than six decades, we operate more flights to Thailand than any other European airline group and are delighted to have resumed A380 services to Bangkok just last month.”
Lufthansa’s commitment to innovation and sustainability remains at the forefront as the airline continues to evolve its services. From modernizing its fleet to implementing eco-friendly initiatives, Lufthansa is dedicated to providing a responsible and enjoyable travel experience for Thai passengers.
As Lufthansa looks ahead, it remains focused on strengthening its connections and enriching the travel experience for passengers. Here’s to another 65 years of excellence in the skies.
