An apparent ‘bureaucratic’ hiccup by the India’s Government that had prevented the A380 from operating between Frankfurt and Delhi has finally been resolved. Originally LH was set to begin flying the A380 on a daily basis beginning with their Winter Timetable but a delay in the approval of LH’s timetable application grounded the A380’s introduction to India.
Now that the issue has been resolved and the timetable finally approved, Lufthansa will at last be able to introduce the A380 to India beginning on November 7. Flight number LH760 will operate from Frankfurt to Delhi and flight LH761 will operate from Delhi to Frankfurt.
According to LH, it took a team effort including the German Embassy in Delhi, German Transport Ministry and the Foreign Ministry to finally get the Indian Government to approve the application.

As a native New Yorker and as someone who lost several friends on 9/11 who were working for Cantor Fitzgerald in the World Trade Center at time, I find today as the perfect day to honor their legacy.
13 years since the horrific attack, and after 8 years of planning, debate and construction, One World Trade Center has finally opened its doors for business. As the centerpiece of the World Trade Center Complex, this 104 story masterpiece of architecture stands as the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. At 1776 feet tall, it sends the perfect message when it comes to America’s resolve when faced with her darkest hours.
I came across an amazing video that shows an impressive 8-year ‘Time Lapse’ of the construction of the tower. From the first footings to the installation of the spire atop the building, this video captures one of our finest moments as a nation. Enjoy.

The union representing the majority of Lufthansa’s pilots has announced that it has postponed plans and threats of future strikes thanks in part to the resumption of negotiations.
According the Union’s president, “We are currently in talks again. We won’t strike during the talks. The aim is to sign a wage agreement”. Hopefully they honor their commitment and work towards a resolution.
So it looks like for the next handful of weeks, passengers will have little to worry about as far as work stoppages are concerned. Hopefully both sides will finally agree on a happy medium.
Finally a bit of good news on a bitter and polarizing topic…….
