Lufthansa announces San Jose, California

Lufthansa has officially announced that it will be launching new services to San Jose, California aka Silicon Valley in order to cater for the massive need for the city to be directly connected to mainland Europe and one stop to India/Middle East as passengers/corporates who reside in the "Valley area" do not like the commute to SFO airport. 

LH will launch the route effective 29APR16 using an A340-300 nonstop operated 5 times per week with the below mentioned schedule:

Days: 1/3/5/6/7

LH 488 Dep FRA 1040 Arr SJC 1340
LH 489 Dep SJC 1520 Arr FRA 1135+1

The above mentioned schedule of LH provides excellent connections in both directions via FRA to all of India.  

LH will henceforth be providing San Jose residents its first direct link to mainland Europe and shall be the second carrier after an earlier announcement by British Airways (few months ago) to operate a new long haul nonstop service to the airport from next summer.
