German airline Lufthansa is to resume its two daily flights to Tokyo after the airline dropped the services following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami and the ongoing nuclear threat in Japan, a company spokesman said Wednesday, dpa reported.
On March 15, Lufthansa was one of the first airlines worldwide to halt its Tokyo flights over fears of a nuclear meltdown in north-east Japan, diverting its services to cities further south in Japan.
Starting Thursday, Lufthansa would resume daily flights from Frankfurt and Munich to Tokyo's Narita airport, company spokesman Frank Puettmann told the German Press Agency dpa in Singapore, adding that bookings had already started.
Lufthansa had been checking aircraft returning from Japan for increased radioactivity levels, but no unusual levels had been discovered, Puettmann said.
