Lufthansa claims to be more Indian than you think across their marketing communications in India. And then, they have in many instances where their Indian customers are treated at the bottom of the ladder when travelling from Europe to India.

Earlier this year, Lufthansa had stated their intention to start operations for the A380 in India from the winter schedule, which got into effect from this past weekend.
