Connecting both nations since September 1, 1963, the inaugural Boeing 720 flight from Frankfurt touched down after stopovers in Rome, Cairo, Kuwait and Karachi, establishing the first connection between the capital city and the Federal Republic of Germany, the release said. Lufthansa remains committed to India and looks forward to another 60 years of deepening partnerships and growth.
