Lufthansa programs such as Miles & More, in which passengers earn triple miles in First Class and double miles in Business Class, and our popular Corporate Mileage Plan serve to further enhance our already sterling reputation with the world's business travelers. For four years running we have been voted "Best airline to Eastern Europe" by the Business Traveler International magazine readers' poll and in 1982 and 1994 Air Transport World magazine named Lufthansa "Airline of the Year."
In addition to providing our passengers with the most enjoyable travel experience possible, we also provide other airlines with valuable services.

Our Lufthansa Technik subsidiary provides maintenance and overhaul expertise to more than 200 other airlines, while
Yet another company of our group, Lufthansa Cargo, is the world's largest scheduled air freight carrier. Last year, we shipped more than 1.5 million tons of goods and materials.
