Business travellers in Bordeaux and Marseille should take a positive view of the latest announcement from the Lufthansa group. Lufthansa has announced the forthcoming launch of new frequencies to top business destinations. Starting next summer, Lufthansa and Swiss will add no less than 20 flights on the Marseille-Zurich, Bordeaux-Zurich and Bordeaux-Frankfurt routes.
This link between Bordeaux airport and the airline's hub is particularly strategic. In concrete terms, five new Lufthansa flights will connect Bordeaux à Frankfurtbringing the airline's schedule to seven weekly flights. In addition, a new Bordeaux-Zurich route will be operated by Swiss International Air Lines from 26 March. Twelve flights will be operated each week. Three other weekly routes are also planned between Marseille and the hub every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
real development potential
" Strengthening the Lufthansa Group's presence on the Atlantic seaboard is one of our priorities in France, where we see real growth potential. "explains Michael Gloor, Sales Director for France and Benelux. " The launch last spring of the Nantes-Munich connection and the introduction of the Bordeaux-Frankfurt link have been a real success. Tomorrow, Bordeaux will be connected to Frankfurt and Zurich, giving it access to a large part of our international network. The Mediterranean coast is not to be outdone, either, with the new Marseille-Zurich link, which we believe offers significant potential. This new connection will not only provide direct access from Switzerland to a very attractive region of France, but will also strengthen our intercontinental network, which is already served from Frankfurt and Munich.
