The Lufthansa Aviation Group is one of the world's leading air transport corporations. It comprises more than 400 subsidiaries and affiliates, active in business segments including passenger business, logistics, repair and overhaul, catering, leisure travel and IT services.

Lufthansa's headquarters is in Cologne. Its operational centre for passenger and cargo services is located in Frankfurt. The other key locations in Germany are Munich, Berlin and Hamburg.

The Group ranks among the leaders in the international airline business: In the year 2003 Lufthansa transported on international routes more passengers than any other IATA airline and the company has been the number one in international cargo traffic for many years. Last year, the Group's 387aircraft flew on routes to 160 destinations, carrying 45.4 million passengers and 1.58 million tons of air freight. The seat load factor for the Group's fleet reached 73.1 percent while our total overall load was 69.8 percent (+1.2 percentage points).

Lufthansa considers a modern, young fleet indispensable. Modern aircraft are more economical and more environmentally compatible to operate than older models, as they burn less fuel and emit fewer pollutants. Accordingly, the airline launched a fleet modernization program in 2003. Ten new Airbus A340-600s and ten new Airbus A330-300s have replaced older aircraft in 2003/2004. Lufthansa is planning to operate the new Airbus A380 from 2007. Lufthansa Cargo is also set to modernize its fleet by 2005 and to replace its Boeing 747- 200s with MD-11 freighters. With an average age of 8.4 years, the Lufthansa fleet is roughly two years younger than the combined fleet operated by IATA carriers.

To offer its customers a dense network of seamless connections, Lufthansa has built up a number of worldwide partnerships. Launched in 1997, the Star Alliance network is the most important of these link-ups. WOW, the first global alliance in the area of cargo, is having a positive effect. At the regional level, as well, Lufthansa is counting on a network of alliances in the form of "Lufthansa Regional," which joins five different carriers under a common roof.

Quality and innovation, safety and reliability are and will remain the hallmarks of Deutsche Lufthansa AG. They shape the image of the company and they will be the guarantor of its success in future too. Newest examples are the new Business Class concept on long-haul routes, inaugurated in December 2003 and Flynet - Lufthansa has been the first airline to provide broadband Internet access on board its aircraft. In December 2004 Lufthansa implemented a unique programme for their premium customers. A dedicated terminal at Frankfurt, exclusive service on the ground with personal service right through to departure and special shuttle services direct to the aircraft makes flying Lufthansa even more convenient and enjoyable.

德国汉莎航空集团是一家居于世界领先地位的航空运输公司。 它由 400 多家子公司和附属公司组成,其业务面极为广泛,包括旅客业务、物流、修理和检修、餐饮、休闲旅行和 IT 服务。

汉莎航空公司的总部设在科隆。 其客运和货运服务的经营中心位于法兰克福。 德国境内的其他主要地点有慕尼黑、柏林和汉堡。

该集团在国际航空业务中居于领先地位: 2003 年,较之任何其他国际航空运输协会的航空公司而言,汉莎航空公司在国际航线上的客运量更大。多年以来,该公司在国际货运业务方面一直独占鳌头。 去年,该集团有 387 架航机飞往 160 个目的地,其客运量多达 4540 万,空运吨位多达 158 万吨。 该集团机队的载运率高达 73.1%,而我们的总负载为 69.8%,即增加了 1.2 个百分点。

汉莎航空公司认为,现代和崭新的飞机不可或缺。 较之较旧机型而言,使用现代飞机会更加经济、更加环保,因为后者消耗的燃油量更少,同时排放的污染物也更少。 因此,航空公司在 2003 年发起了机群现代化计划。 在 2003/2004 年期间,更换了十架新型空客 A340-600 和十架新型空客 A330-300。 汉莎航空公司计划从 2007 年开始使用新型空客 A380。汉莎货运也从 2005 年开始实行机群现代化,同时会以 MD-11 货机取代波音 747- 200。 汉莎航空公司机群的平均使用年限为 8.4 年,这比由国际航空运输协会航空公司操作的联合机群的使用年限短两年。

为了向客户提供无缝连接的密集网络,汉莎航空公司组成了庞大的全球合作联盟。 星空联盟网络创建于 1997 年,是其中最重要的链接。 在货运方面的首次全球联盟便大获成功。 同样,汉莎航空公司在区域组以"汉莎区域"的形式加入联盟网络,而且会将五个不同的航空公司联合在一起。

质量和创新、安全和可靠永远都是德国汉莎航空股份公司 (Deutsche Lufthansa AG) 的特色。 他们塑造了公司正面形象,并且还是确保我们永远成功的基石。 最新实例就是在 2003 年 12 月推出的有关长途航线的新商务舱概念和空中互联网,并且汉莎航空公司是首家提供机上宽带互联网接入的航空公司。 在 2004 年 12 月,汉莎航空公司为其尊贵客户制定了一项独特计划。 从起航时的多种地上人性化服务至机上的特殊短程运输服务,法兰克福专用终点站使得汉莎航空公司的飞行体验更加舒适和惬意。
