The airlines of the Lufthansa Group have won a range of World Airline Awards this year.

Austrian Airlines was awarded first place for its service on the ground and in the air in the category Best Airline Staff in Europe. The airline also took first place in the category Best Business Class Onboard Catering.
The investments of more than €3 billion made in the past three years in equipping cabins and lounges, as well as in service, paid off for Lufthansa. The airline won the categories Best Airline Transatlantic, World’s Best First Class Airline Lounge and Best Airline in Western Europe.
Lufthansa is currently equipping over 100 aircraft in its long-haul fleet with its exclusive first class, the new business class and the premium economy class.
