DALLAS — Star Alliance founder members Lufthansa (LH) and THAI Airways International (TG) increased connectivity in January 2025 by launching three new codeshare routes.
These flights from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) to Hanoi (HAN), Ho Chi Minh (SGN), and Manila (MNL) are operated by TG and marketed by LH under their codeshare network.
Lufthansa and TG’s codeshare is particularly important to Manila because it boosts European connectivity. Air France (AF) is the only direct flight operator from Europe to the capital of the Philippines.
This move is expected to improve tourism and business ties. It is also essential for LH, as the Philippines and Vietnam are rapidly growing tourism hubs.
The new routes come six months after the US Department of Transportation (DOT) allowed LH to add TG flight code to its flights from/to the US.
