History
Lufthansa is the largest airline in Central Europe, the second-largest airline in Germany, and the 8th largest airline in Europe. It has been a member of the Star Alliance since 1997 but has also signed agreements with other airlines, such as Air Canada and Japan Airlines (JAL).
The company was founded in 1953 by former Luftwaffe pilots Hans Baur, who later became President of Lufthansa from 1957 to 1978, and Erhard Vogt. The two men were both pilots for Deutsche Luft Hansa (DLH). In 1955, DLH merged with Junkers Luftverkehr to form Deutsche Lufthansa AG (abbreviated DLA). In 1960, DLA took over several other airlines including Adria Airways, Austrian Airlines, SAS Scandinavian Airlines System and Swissair.
Destination
Lufthansa's main hub is at Frankfurt Airport, and it has secondary hubs at Munich Airport as well as Düsseldorf Airport. The airline also maintains a domestic hub at Berlin Tegel Airport and an international hub at Munich Airport.
