The Lufthansa Group has expressed strong support for Germany's recent decision to abolish airport transit visa requirements for Indian nationals traveling to third countries via German airports, effective June 3, 2026. This policy change, announced by the German Embassy in New Delhi, is expected to streamline travel for Indian passengers and bolster air connectivity between India, Germany, and other global destinations. Lufthansa has been a significant player in the Indian market for over 60 years, currently operating more than 70 weekly flights to Europe. As part of its commitment to India, the airline is enhancing its service offerings, including the introduction of the award-winning Allegris cabins on Boeing 787-9 flights and the launch of SWISS's inaugural direct service from Bengaluru to Zurich in the upcoming winter schedule. Additionally, the rollout of the FOX (Future Onboard Experience) initiative aims to elevate the travel experience across all long-haul cabins. The new visa policy is anticipated to further solidify Germany's position as a key gateway for Indian travelers to Europe and beyond.
