Lufthansa, Fraport strengthen partnership

Lufthansa and Frankfurt Airport operator Fraport have agreed on an initial deal for short-term cost savings, which aims to create conditions for Lufthansa’s further growth at the airport. Both companies are looking to improve utilisation of their existing infrastructure and reduce costs by improving the advance planning of passenger traffic, Fraport said. There will also be more intense coordination between the two companies concerning customer relations to optimise services in the non-aviation sector. To promote continued growth at Frankfurt Airport in 2018, Fraport said it has no plans to increase airport charges for the coming year. Thus, the existing charges regulation will continue to be valid. <br/>
