Lufthansa Group in the Nordics
- First entry into Lapland: Kittilä in 2015
- Tromsø (opened 2016) now a standout success with up to 22 weekly flights from 8 airports
- Today: 69 weekly flights to 9 Arctic Circle airports
- Group carriers (Austrian Airlines, Edelweiss, Eurowings, Discover Airlines) also serve Nordic destinations

Why It Matters
- Tourism boost: Lapland’s winter sports and Santa Claus tourism are major draws.
- Year-round appeal: Once seasonal, Lapland is now marketed as a year-round destination.
- Connectivity: Lufthansa is positioning itself as the strongest European network carrier in the Arctic region.

This expansion is not just about leisure travel—it’s also about strengthening Lufthansa’s footprint in niche but high-demand markets.
