Lufthansa says "auf widersehen" to Portland-to-Frankfurt service
By Associated PressPORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Lufthansa is ending its direct flights between Portland and Frankfurt. Lufthansa notified the Port of Portland last weekend that it would suspend Frankfurt service after Sept. 12. A Lufthansa spokesman told The Oregonian the decision was not easy, but the flights have been losing money amid the global recession. The airline will consider restoring the service next year. Travelers already booked on Lufthansa flights after Sept. 12 will likely be rerouted through Seattle. Alternatives are Delta's Amsterdam route or a five-hour flight to the East Coast followed by a seven-hour trip to Europe. |
