Hapag-Lloyd Express ahead of target

TUI northern Europe and airline group chairman Charles Gurassa said bookings on Hapag-Lloyd Express were ahead of expectations as the airline began its Luton to Cologne/Bonn service yesterday.

The company estimates the low-cost airline will carry 1.3 million passengers in its first year and predicted an annual growth rate of 20%. 

Additional routes are expected to be launched in the future.
