Jeffrey James, Group Head of Communications - Asia Pacific at Lufthansa, said, “It is an incredibly exciting time to be in India right now. Having recently overtaken China as the most populous country in the world, India has also witnessed tremendous economic growth. It is now the 5th largest economy on the planet (replacing the United Kingdom) and is on track to be the 3rd largest economy by 2030. We have been invested in India for more than 90 years, and when looking for our first new APAC destination since the pandemic, Bengaluru was a natural fit.”
