LTU (1990)

LTU era una de las principales aerolíneas alemanas, hasta que fue absorbida por Air Berlin (la red intercontinental de Air Berlin está formada por antiguos destinos de LTU) Tenía sede en Dússeldorf, desde donde volaba a muchos destinos intercontinentales, siendo una alternativa importante a Lufthansa. Estaba especializada en tráfico vacacional y como otras empresas alemenas, combinaba la venta de paquetes turísticos con la venta directa de asientos en el mismo avión.Algunos de los vuelos estaban operados por su filial española LTE.

LTU was one of the main German airlines until it was bought by Air Berlin. Most, if not all, of current Air Berlin longhaul destinations are cities previously served by LTU.

The airline was headquartered at Düsseldorf and from there they flew to a large network of intercontinental destinations, and thus they were an interesting alternative to Lufthansa. They were, however, a leisure airline, and like other German carriers, they combined direct sell of seats on their flights with classic tour operator charter packages. Some of their flights were operated by their Spanish subsidiary LTE.
