MORE FLIGHTS

Lufthansa and Swiss airlines announced yesterday that as from next March, they would be offering three direct flights a week to Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Geneva, to coincide with the start of the activities around the Americas Cup. The Spanish representatives of these two airlines, who gave a press conference in Valencia yesterday to outline the new flights, also started that apart from the Americas Cup, another of the main reasons for these flights was that economic and tourist increases that Valencia has recently been undertaking. Jose Luis Lopez of Swiss, one of the sponsors of the Alinghi syndicate also added that the continuation of these route after the Cup races had taken place would depend on the commercial success they had achieved, whilst Thomas Mittelbach of Lufthansa stated that the company ‘was very interested’ in offering more flights from Valencia. Mr. Mittelbach also stated that fares on the three flights a week that the company would be operating would be priced at 90 Euros return plus commission charges. These two new routes are on top of those that the company already flies between Valencia and Munich in collaboration with Spanair.
