Lufthansa eyes one-way tickets across Europe
13 September 2011Lufthansa customers could soon have more choice of one-way destinations within Europe, as the airline considers expanding a scheme that currently covers only tickets for flights within Germany, or selected countries such as Poland and Britain.
“‘We are checking at the moment under which conditions, on which routes and at which rates that would make sense,'” said Jens Bischof, sales chief of the passenger airline business at Lufthansa.
Currently, European legacy airlines such as Lufthansa and Air France-KLM sell mostly return tickets and even where one-way tickets are available, they can often cost much more than returns. This has left a gap for low-cost airlines such as Ryanair, EasyJet and Air Berlin to snap up price-conscious customers.
