Lufthansa was awarded two international awards on the fringe of the ITB (International Tourism Exchange) in Berlin.
The airline was once again honoured for its excellent quality and service with the Five Star Diamond Award of the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. This prize was awarded to companies in the tourism branch such as airlines, hotels, restaurants, star cooks, wine-growing estates and cruise corporations since 1989. In the latest edition of Fortune magazine, Lufthansa scored top. The rankings are based on a survey of 10,000 company managers and executives in 345 companies from all over the world. Each respondent was required to classify the other companies in their sector.
