Deutsche Lufthansa (OTCMKTS:DLAKY), trading on OTCMKTS under the symbol DLAKY, is one of the world’s leading aviation groups, offering comprehensive passenger and cargo air transportation services. Through its passenger airlines—Lufthansa German Airlines, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings—the company serves more than 200 destinations across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. In addition to scheduled flights, the group provides charter operations, private jet services, and vacation packages under its wholly owned leisure brand.
The company’s suite of services extends beyond passenger transport to encompass air and ocean freight logistics, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, and in-flight catering. Lufthansa Cargo operates an extensive freighter network linking major commercial hubs, while Lufthansa Technik delivers technical support, component support, and engine maintenance to airlines worldwide. LSG Sky Chefs, the group’s catering arm, prepares millions of meals annually for a broad spectrum of airlines, rail operators, and other travel industry clients.
Founded in 1953 as the successor to the pre-World War II Deutsche Luft Hansa, the company has played a pivotal role in shaping global aviation. Over the decades, Lufthansa has expanded through strategic acquisitions and partnerships, becoming a founding member of the Star Alliance in 1997. Its primary hubs in Frankfurt and Munich serve as key gateways to Europe and beyond, with an additional network of regional airports and codeshare agreements enhancing connectivity for both business and leisure travelers.
Under the leadership of CEO Carsten Spohr, Lufthansa has pursued a strategy focused on digital transformation, sustainability, and operational efficiency. The management team has set ambitious targets for reducing carbon emissions, modernizing the fleet with fuel-efficient aircraft, and leveraging advanced data analytics to improve customer experience. With a diversified business model and a strong commitment to innovation, Deutsche Lufthansa continues to adapt to the evolving demands of the global aviation industry.
