Transportation in Switzerland

AUSTRIA, 2013/08/11
With the purchase of Austrian and Swiss Germany's Lufthansa had put their airline into an chance in having the option of three nations instead of one bilateral agreements with other markets. Germany, Switzerland and Austria are presently covered by one airline and three different names - the Lufthansa Group.
The world Star Alliance headquarter is based with Lufthansa in Frankfurt.
If the bilaterals - which translate into a reciprocal number of fixed seats or flights a week for airlines of each country - with Austria and Switzerland are indeed revised, it will be a large setback for the 30.1-billion Lufthansa. Europe's biggest airline by sales is facing tough competition from Gulf carriers Emirates and Etihad in the Indian skies.
