Lufthansa may be the largest german airline, and it used to be state-owned; but today it's a private enterprise. Does this still make it a "national airline"? -- Nils

[edit] Sliding Man
What is this man opening the door on the runway thing!? This isn't a serious incident. I think it should be removed. If this kind of thing qualifies you could list hundreds of incidents for all major airlines. newkai 02:56, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed, I think that information looks very strange in the article. I have removed the paragraph entirely - Adrian Pingstone 19:17, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Destinations
There needs to be some mention of destinations in this article and how the airline sticks out from the rest of the competition in this area.
[edit] Lufthansa and A300B4
The article says that Lufthansa uses A300B4 models, but I have seen them using only A300-600R models in past few years, so this information is inaccurate. Does anyone know how many B4 and -600 models do they actually use?
- According to the LH Fleet page http://konzern.lufthansa.com/de/html/ueber_uns/flotte/index.html Lufthansa uses only A300-600, not 300-B4. -- Nils Jeppe 8 July 2005 12:55 (UTC)
[edit] Formation of Lufthansa
As the company is celebrating its 50th birthday this year, I think it should be mentioned that 1955 is the year it was founded in. To my knowledge the pre-WWII company was a "different" company bearing the same name.
[edit] Miles & More
Miles & More should be merged into the Lufthansa article, and its other participants should have a note about it in their pages. The program isn't noteworthy enough to need its own article. Dbinder 23:44, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree, the Miles&More program is used by several different airline companies. It should remain a separate article. BTW: Separate articles for the British Airways Executive Club and American Airways AAdvantage exist as well. Do your want to merge them too? MikeZ 16:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- I do think Executive Club should be merged. I have left AAdvantage alone for now. It's noteworthy since it was the first one. Dbinder 14:31, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree, as per MikeZ, especially now that SWISS is also part of Miles&More. Schutz 20:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree, as per MikeZ and Schutz.

[edit] Flying Swan?
It says in the first paragraph that Lufthansa means "flying swan". It doesn't. As far as I know, there is a Sanskrit word - "Hamsa", which means swan. In German however, the only meaning I can conceive here is in connection with the Hanseatic League, as is written in the History-section. When I tried to edit this, it was changed back, so maybe someone else needs to make a change.
- I changed the "German translation" sentence. In my opinion the reference to the swan is not correct, the bird in the company logo and on the aircraft tails is a crane. MikeZ 07:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redlinks
Can someone clean these up because, though at first they may not appear excessive, im worried about the fleet sections, because somehow I think most pages about the fleet types exist. Thanks for your help DannyM 12:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Service to East Germany after WW2
It's unclear if the airline was banned from the whole country or just W Berlin after WW2, if anyone has any info please clarify. Propound 05:07, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Focus cities / secondary hubs
Berlin Tegel is definitly not a "focus city" in Lufthansa's route network. The only international routes are BRU and CDG. There are more international routes from Cologne!
[edit] BBJ
Can anyone give a reference to the BBJ that is in LH's fleet? I have looked for one and can only find the service operated by Privatair on behalf of LH. Which is duly noted in the Privatair entry. skyskraper 14:39, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fleets in History Section
In the history section, it seems to list many, many instances of different planes being purchased. Do all of these purchases need to be listed? I understand certain purchases may be historic, but if so, maybe it should be explained why it is important? (e.g. Allowed flights across Atlantic, etc.) Other examples seem to be listed just for the sake of listing.Gittinsj 01:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)gittinsj
