@atterseeluftfah @lufthansa Spohr: If LH can get the same incentives like Ryanair in Frankfurt, €200 – 300 million savings annually could be possible.
@Airlineroute Vietnam Airlines later this month (Nov 2016) operates round-the-world flight for State leader, on board Boeing 787-9.
@JohnLStrickland .@lufthansa Q3 results softer. Yields under pressure. Union challenges remain & then @Ryanair announces a new base @Airport_FRA !!!.
@lufthansaNews Welcome to the real @Airport_FRA, dear @Ryanair. In case you get lost on such a big airport, just give us a call! #NonstopYou.
@lufthansaNews @Airport_FRA Thanks. Looks like you need a holiday. You can fly #Ryanair for €9.99. Low fares have finally come to Frankfurt.
@simonasbartkus Also @Ryanair is going to suspend routes from Kaunas to Kos and @Gatwick_Airport next summer, announced in press conference today.
