Lufthansa makes new plans for Private Jet service
Lufthansa is ordering its own business jets to replace those supplied thus far by NetJets Europe (NJE) for Lufthansa’s Private Jet service.

Lufthansa is ordering its own business jets to replace those supplied thus far by NetJets Europe (NJE) for Lufthansa’s Private Jet service. The German-based carrier claims the success of the service makes a sound business case for buying the aircraft. However, NetJets Europe decided to terminate its contract with the company last August on the grounds that it was providing point-to-point service when it had agreed to provide connection flights. This presented Lufthansa with something of a dilemma.

Lufthansa Private Jet is advertised as a luxury connection for first-class passengers. Passengers taking long-haul flights to a major Lufthansa hub such as Frankfurt can use a business jet to reach their final destination. Under a 2005 contract Lufthansa and NJE renewed last year, NJE was providing the business jets and crews.
