History

Passage to China.

Eurasia

A direct air link into the Far East — that was the original intention behind the founding of the Sino-German Eurasia Aviation Corporation.

Pilots

Two Lufthansa aircraft took off from Berlin-Tempelhof on 4 July 1926. After 72 hours of “pure flight time“, but 38 days later, they touched down in Peking.

Flight attendants

The first Chinese flight attendants began serving passengers on Chinese flights in the year 2000. They make the aircraft cabin more like home from home for their compatriots in faraway Europe.

Historic photos

Historic photos dating back 80 years retrace the story of Lufthansa in China from the first expedition in 1926 to the present-day.
