The Lufthansa Group includes Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines. Eurowings and Lufthansa's "regional partners" are also group members.[4]

History[edit]

Early days[edit]

At the beginning of 1995, Deutsche Lufthansa AG made some structural changes and aimed at creating independent operating companies of the aviation group such as Lufthansa Technik, Lufthansa Cargo and Lufthansa Systems. Three new companies who joined later in the Lufthansa Group are LSG Sky Chefs, Condor and Lufthansa CityLine.[5]

COVID-19[edit]

On 14 May 2020, Lufthansa said it would resume flights between Toronto and Frankfurt as of 3 June. Prior to the pandemic, the Lufthansa Group airlines operated 64 weekly flights between the two countries. The airline's recovery plans involve high-density cargo to replace paying customers. The Lufthansa Group airlines now require all passengers to wear a mask while aboard.[6]

Also on 14 May, the Group released the news that it planned to operate 1,800 weekly flights by the end of June.[7]
