With two new destinations in Ukraine and a new connection between Dusseldorf and Kiev, Lufthansa is further extending its network of flights to the growth market Ukraine, bringing this dynamic region closer to Europe. As of 29th August 2005, Lufthansa passengers will already have a choice of six flights a week to the Ukrainian capital Kiev. As of 9th September, Donetsk, a city with over a million inhabitants, will supplement the Lufthansa route network in Eastern Ukraine. With six weekly flights from Munich, Lufthansa will be the first western airline to provide a service to the industrial heart of Ukraine. The extended offer will be rounded off by the addition of services between Frankfurt and Dnipropetrovsk: right on schedule for the start of the winter timetable on 30th October, Lufthansa will provide flights on this route six times per week. Dnipropetrovsk is an important traffic junction and one of the most important industrial cities in the Ukraine.
With the opening of the new services, Lufthansa is developing and securing its long-term engagement in Eastern Europe and positioning itself as a strong partner for the country`s export-oriented economy. Germany is the second most important trading partner of the Ukraine – more than 1,000 German companies are represented in the country. Lufthansa was the first network carrier to fly to the newly independent Ukraine and has linked Frankfurt and Kiev since 1991. Flights between Munich and the Ukrainian capital were introduced for the first time in 1992. Today, Lufthansa operates three daily flights from Kiev to its two major hubs in Germany.
