Lufthansa åpner 3x ukentlig Frankfurt-St.Louis neste sommer

Har St.Louis hatt flighter til Europa siden TWA gikk konkurs? Og er det noe tysk industri i nærheten som er grunnen til dette?

Usikker på flytypen?

Lufthansa will fly to more destinations in the U.S. next year than ever before. A new addition will be St. Louis, (USA) in the U.S. state of Missouri for the first time from June 2022. This will be the first non-stop flight by an airline from continental Europe in around 20 years. The famous city on the Mississippi is home to numerous international companies.
 
Penger er jo det som får et fly i luften :p

hehe, penger var jo TWAs problem. Jeg floey London-St. Louis t/r med TWA en gang i 1993. Det var en via via rute p.g.a fulle fly. Jeg var 16 aar den gang, me jeg husker det som en av de stusseligste flyvningene over dammen. TWA var da under Chapter 11 behandling, men selskapet hanglet seg videre til AA tok over i 2001.
 
Slipper landingsavgifter i 18 måneder også:

Lufthansa, Germany’s largest carrier, will be in line to earn up to $5 million in subsidies over two years if it maintains an average of three nonstop flights per week from St. Louis Lambert International Airport to its hub in Frankfurt.

The money is coming primarily from two sources. The St. Louis County Port Authority, which has pledged money for years for a new international connection, will put up $2.5 million. The regional business group Greater St. Louis Inc. and several of its corporate members will put up another $2.5 million.

In addition, Lambert has agreed to waive 18 months of landing fees for Lufthansa, an incentive that could be worth about $520,000, assuming the carrier flies Airbus A330s, wide-body aircraft that carry roughly 250 passengers.
 
Det ligger nok noen greier corporate kontrakter i dette også for Lufthansa vil jeg tro, både Bayer og Merck har kjøpt opp svære St. Louis baserte selskaper de senere årene. Så blir det spennende å se hva som er ståa etter 2 år når subsidiene tar slutt.
 
Ser ut som ruten går brukbart

Between July 1, 2022 and June 30 more than 65,000 passengers flew into and out of St. Louis through the route, according to an airport official. The thrice-weekly outbound flights were around 86% full during their first 11 months, said airport director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge.

Lufthansa is considering that expansion. The nine-hour flight is well above the financial break-even point, said Don Bunkenburg, Lufthansa’s director of sales for the Central and Western United States.
