The history of Lufthansa can be traced back to 1926. At that time, the two airlines DAL and AG were officially merged and formally established in Berlin, Germany in 1926. In 1933, the company was officially renamed: "Lufthansa". The history of Lufthansa and the German Third Reich

Founding and destruction in 1945

Closely related. With the end of World War II in 1945 and Germany's defeat, Lufthansa immediately ceased flying in the same year, and the history of Lufthansa also came to an end. Several German companies, including Lufthansa, were regarded by the Allies as

As an accomplice of the German Communist Party, he hopes that future generations will downplay his past history.

In the 1950s, Lufthansa was restructured. The initial name was "Airline AG"; on April 1, 1955, the name "Lufthansa AG" was restored. Since then, Lufthansa's passenger and cargo operations have developed rapidly.

.Deutsche Lufthansa has become one of the famous international airlines in the world.

In 1958, Lufthansa ordered four Boeing 707s and launched the first flight using jet aircraft in March 1960, from Frankfurt to New York. After that, the Boeing 720 also joined the Lufthansa fleet. In February 1961,

Lufthansa opened routes to Hong Kong and Tokyo, expanded its route network to the Far East, and opened destinations in Lagos and Johannesburg the following year.

In 1964, Lufthansa purchased a Boeing 727, and in May of the same year opened the Arctic route from Frankfurt to Tokyo. In February 1965, Lufthansa ordered 21 Boeing 737s. These aircraft began to be delivered in 1968, and Lufthansa became a Boeing airline.

737 startup user.

On April 26, 1970, Lufthansa put the Boeing 747 into operation, which marked the beginning of Lufthansa's wide-body era. Since then, Lufthansa introduced more Boeing 747-200s, and in 1972 became the first to use Boeing 747 freighters

airlines, in addition to successively introduced McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Airbus A300. In 1979, Lufthansa and Swiss Airlines became the launch users of Airbus A310.

It can be said that Lufthansa is one of Boeing's largest customers. After all, they were the first to use many of Boeing's models. In previous lives, this year was the year when Lufthansa showed its strength. Who would have thought that the Paris Air Show would be postponed.

But as the company's established strategy, Lufthansa's plan has not changed at all. Unlike Japan Airlines, there are two large companies competing with each other. In Germany, it can be said that Lufthansa is a dominant airline, and even in Europe;

No airline can challenge their status in the world.

Manstein-Spohr, as the current president of Lufthansa, is very concerned about the new aircraft at the Paris Air Show. When he saw the h3m-111 aircraft produced by United Airlines, he immediately thought that this is the aircraft Lufthansa needs.

.However, he also has some concerns about this matter. That is, McDonnell Douglas is also involved. After all, the DC-10 aircraft did not give him a good impression.

But seeing that Mitsubishi, Heiyun, and Motorola all have shares in this company, plus Bao Zixuan's personal test flight and the entire negotiation process with the Japanese, it is enough to show that the four companies have absolute confidence in the h3m-111 aircraft. Otherwise,

I simply don’t dare to make such a big show of it, and even blatantly discuss cooperation matters with other people.

Manstein-Spohr came to the United Aircraft Manufacturing Company's booth and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Bao Zixuan! I am Manstein-Spohr, from Lufthansa; may I chat with you?"

Just for a moment!"

He is a typical Germanic man, with blond hair and blue eyes. When he was young, he was definitely a handsome guy. Bao Zixuan is really not very familiar with this guy; but his son, the future Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr,

Bao Shoufu still had some impressions. After all, he had met him several times and introduced him to the engine-related performance.

When the head of Europe's largest airline comes to visit, of course he must be warmly received.

Bao Zixuan said in German: "Of course there is no problem. Mr. Spohr is a distinguished guest. Lufthansa is a benchmark company in the industry. I don't think any aircraft manufacturing company will refuse to meet you."

Respect is mutual. Many people may be polite on the surface, but may forget you later. After all, I feel that the two of them will not have much intersection, and they will not be able to make friends or meet in the future. Being polite is more out of

Politeness is a matter of one's own quality. But where do many people put their own strength, and the industries both parties are engaged in are closely related.

There will be many places where we will meet in the future; then we cannot treat others like strangers. Lufthansa, as the largest aviation giant in Europe, has a large procurement budget every year. Competition among world aircraft manufacturing companies is also very fierce.

If you always act condescendingly, people will definitely not choose you.

Offending others through expressions and words is the most stupid behavior, and Mr. Bao would not make such a stupid mistake.

Good cultivation, a genius brain, and a vision beyond the times make Bao Zixuan instantly recognized wherever he goes.

Gu Gu

Manstein-Spohr said with a smile: "Mr. Bao is too polite. Lufthansa has just been in the aviation business for a longer time. There is nothing special about it."

"The main purpose of coming here this time is to learn about the performance of the h3m-111 aircraft, and to see if there are any cooperation opportunities between us."

Germans are always cautious and slow to warm up. Even if they are ready to buy, they will not show it. This gives themselves a room for maneuver and allows both parties to have a way out.

However, anyone who knows Manstein-Spohr knows that this president is serious about it. If he doesn’t want to buy the h3m-111 aircraft, he may not even come here, let alone say the word "cooperation"

.

There were employees of Boeing next to them. When United Aircraft Manufacturing Company was established, they realized that the situation was not good. Now the aircraft has been produced, and the test flight has been so successful. Combining the technical strength of the four companies, it can be said that the biggest competitor of Boeing 747

, has appeared.

McDonnell Douglas has always regarded Airbus as a competitor before, and McDonnell Douglas has instinctively ignored it. But who would have thought that a United Aircraft Manufacturing Company would be created. Boeing has no advantage at all in front of others. The military market has always been dominated by Locke.

Sid, McDonnell Douglas suppressed. Now even the civilian market will be ruthlessly crushed. If that is the case, Boeing is really not far away from decline.

The two Japanese airlines may not have such a big impact. After all, Asia as a whole is not a mainstream market at this time. That is to say, Japan has more frequent contacts with other countries, and the economic strength of the remaining countries is still far behind. Moreover, there are no

Very influential airline.

But Lufthansa is different. It can be said that it has a strategic partnership with Boeing. Many Boeing models were the first to be put into operation by Lufthansa. If they purchase a large number of aircraft from United Airlines Aircraft Manufacturing Company, then

This influence is too great.

Moreover, Europe has very frequent exchanges with the United States and the entire world. As the largest aviation company in continental Europe, Lufthansa itself has a lot of demand for large aircraft. If they purchase the H3M-111 aircraft, then the sales volume of the Boeing 747 will inevitably fall off a cliff.

A sudden decline. We must find a way, otherwise Boeing will be in great danger.

But after all, we are on someone else's territory now, and this is the Paris Air Show. If we really dare to cause trouble, it will not only be embarrassing, but also completely offend the French people. It is really hard to say whether Boeing can come to participate in the exhibition in the future.

Now we can only wait in a hurry and wait until the negotiations between the two parties are concluded; in the past, Lufthansa negotiated and had a good talk with the other party.

Boeing still understands the character of the Germans and knows that they are very cautious in doing things. Unlike the Japanese, who can make decisions directly when they are hot-headed. Moreover, Mitsubishi is involved; fortunately, United Airlines Aircraft Manufacturing Company is not a German company.

Moreover, the headquarters is still built in the UK; there may not be one country that Germans dislike the most.

In fact, as Boeing speculated, even if the Germans took action, they would not be so quick. But they ignored one thing, that is, the Japanese had already placed the order first. According to the rules, the aircraft must be delivered to the Japanese first.

Japan and Germany are two countries in the world that appreciate each other. If the Japanese use it and find that there are no problems, then the problem should not be big. If the Japanese use it and find that there are major safety hazards in the aircraft design, or the design requirements are not met.

; If the overall performance is much worse than advertised, then the contract can be completely broken.

I believe that with the strength of the four companies, they will not be able to occupy even a small deposit.

It takes time to warm up slowly. If it is late, you will probably have to wait for the planes to fly all over the sky. Lufthansa is still not used. If you fall behind, the market will be occupied by other airlines, and no one dares to take the risk.
