Lufthansa has launched its latest route from Frankfurt to Tampa International Airport in Florida.
The route is the airline’s 18th in the USA. Flights will operate with three-class Airbus A340-300s specially configured for the leisure travel market.
Lufthansa will operate five weekly flights on the route until October under the present summer schedules. This will change to four weekly services with the start of the 2015/16 winter schedules on 25 October. Tampa is Lufthansa’s third Florida destination, joining Miami and Orlando. With the addition of its new service, Lufthansa now serves a total of 18 US destinations.
“We are pleased to initiate our new program of intercontinental services geared specially to leisure travellers today,” said Karl Ulrich Garnadt, member of the Lufthansa Group Executive Board and CEO of Lufthansa German Airlines.
“And Tampa is the first of a number of new vacation destinations that we will be adding to our network over the next few months.” These will include Nairobi (Kenya) at the end of October, Cancun (Mexico), Male (the Maldives) and Mauritius in early December and Panama City (Panama) in March of next year.”
