Lufthansa
Lufthansa is Germany's flag carrier and one of Europe's largest airlines, operating a global network of passenger and cargo flights from its Frankfurt and Munich hubs.
What is Lufthansa?
Is Lufthansa down? Lufthansa is Germany's flag carrier airline and one of the world's largest airlines by revenue, founded in 1953 and headquartered in Cologne. As the parent company of the Lufthansa Group — which includes Swiss International Air Lines, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings — it operates one of the most extensive international route networks in Europe. Flying to over 200 destinations across 80 countries from primary hubs in Frankfurt and Munich, Lufthansa is a founding member of the Star Alliance and one of the most recognised premium aviation brands globally.
Lufthansa's Miles & More loyalty programme is the largest frequent flyer programme in Europe, with over 35 million members earning miles on Lufthansa Group flights and partner activities. The Lufthansa app provides booking management, mobile check-in, digital boarding passes, and Miles & More account access. Lufthansa's premium cabin product — Business Class with flat beds on long-haul routes and the ultra-premium First Class with private suites on select routes — sets benchmarks for intercontinental air travel. The airline's extensive hub-and-spoke network through Frankfurt makes it the primary transit point for connections between North America and Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Lufthansa digital outages affect travellers on complex international itineraries where rebooking and documentation management are critical. Common symptoms include online check-in failing on lufthansa.com or the app, boarding passes not generating, seat reservations not saving, Miles & More balance display errors, or booking management features being inaccessible. Lufthansa IT incidents have historically garnered significant European media coverage given the airline's prominence.
