Lufthansa Technology Forum

Author: Heiko Hebig

Welcome to the Technology Forum at DLD08. Lufthansa German Airlines is proud to be a partner again in 2008, and would like to discuss with you as a forum participant the future of travel. Whether making a journey by air makes sense is assessed very much in correlation to the distance involved. New rail travel concepts and high-speed trains on the one hand, and on the other the greater time input due to increased security checks at airports, qualify many of the previous time advantages of flying. This might have severe consequences for airlines. As an innovative and technologically oriented company, it is extremely important for us to develop here a credible and sustainable concept and thus gain a competitive advantage.
