The Lufthansa Group is in “advanced talks" with technology providers to "implement direct connect solutions,"

Lufthansa German Airlines chief commercial officer Jens Bischof said during an Association of Corporate Travel Executives webinar on Tuesday. Bischof did not disclose those technology partners, but Lufthansa Group airlines are among the customers of Farelogix, a distribution and merchandizing technology provider. Lufthansa Group has "invested a lot recently in allowing direct connect solutions," said Bischof, who later added: "We're also in talks with TMCs and have invited them to work together with us on these solutions, and I'm quite confident that we'll be able to achieve significant progress over the next couple of weeks and month.”
