Get to Know Lufthansa

About

Lufthansa strives to create experiences that enrich people’s lives. Since its founding in 1953 as a German airline, Lufthansa has grown into an expansive aviation group with 540 subsidiaries and associated companies worldwide, making it the largest airline operator in Europe. Their customer-centric approach contributes to their continued success, and the company turned to Valtech to ensure their multi-channel online presence supports their values and objectives.

The Goals

Lufthansa’s continuous efforts to increase efficiency and improve conversion led them to contact Valtech. They wanted excellence across all touchpoints and to create a seamless experience that begins on the homepage and continues through the booking, airport and inflight experiences and on to inspiration for future travel. This required improvement of Lufthansa’s sales and service platforms.

The Transformation

Travelers are the core of Lufthansa’s business, and so the traveler must also be the focus of their digital platforms. Lufthansa’s online transformation heavily depended on design and UX to create a seamless customer journey. In Germany, Lufthansa's online booking ranks third among top-selling internet offerings, and worldwide the site has millions of visitors annually. To maintain a competitive advantage, Valtech was brought in to further improve the site and related portals, including the booking system on Lufthansa.com, Lufthansa’s online Travel Guide and the inflight FlyNet.

The brand and corporate platforms that have resulted from our partnership are part of Lufthansa’s continuing efforts to unify the customer experience across all channels and platforms.
