LUFTHANSA TO PROVIDE WESTERN U.S. GATEWAY
Lufthansa German Airlines said it will choose between Denver and Phoenix to begin a direct transatlantic flight next year.
Lufthansa, which also considered San Diego, Seattle and Portland, said it plans to launch daily non-stop service between Frankfurt and the western U.S. in March using widebody A340 aircraft. Lufthansa will carry containerized cargo in the belly of that flight.
Lufthansa said top officials will soon visit both cities to receive proposals and a decision should follow within two months.
