LASTMINUTE.COM hopes to increase its share of the European
flights markets following the expansion of a deal with German flag carrier
Lufthansa.
The deal will allow Lastminute to sell Lufthansa’s tickets in
the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, South Africa and Sweden.
The two companies are also to work closely on marketing with
Lufthansa’s products being advertised in e-mail newsletters that will go out to
four million of Lastminute’s customers.
Lufthansa executive vice president sales Thierry Antinori
said: “The partnership agreement with Lastminute.com is an extension of our
successful nine-year relationship with Lastminute.com’s French subsidiary, Dégriftour,
and enables us to further expand our lead position in Europe.”
