AIRail celebrates ten years successful service
This month is the tenth anniversary of the Lufthansa AIRail service operated in collaboration with Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Fraport on the Cologne-Frankfurt route. Since 5 May 2003, Lufthansa passengers have been able to use ICE trains as a feeder service from Cologne to Frankfurt Airport with just their flight ticket. In 2011, some 290,000 passengers travelled to and from Germany’s largest airport on up to 26 daily connections. This represents an increase of more than 20 per cent compared with the previous year.
