German flag carrier Lufthansa recently received the coveted International Five Star Diamond Award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences (AAHS) at a ceremony held at Lufthansa’s acclaimed First Class Terminal at Frankfurt International Airport.

The academy honored three outstanding accomplishments of Lufthansa’s premium service portfolio: the Lufthansa First Class onboard its intercontinental fleet, the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt and the Lufthansa First Class Lounge at New York’s JFK International Airport.

“Today, we are very excited to receive this award from the academy which has evolved into an international powerhouse network that values the very highest quality and hospitality,” said Jens Bischof, chief commercial officer at Lufthansa German Airlines.

The “International Star Diamond Award” caps a successful week of accolades for the airline. At the beginning of the week, Lufthansa was awarded the title of “Europe’s Leading Airline” at the World Travel Awards. Two months earlier Lufthansa was voted “Best European Airline in the Middle East” during the Business Traveller Middle East Awards 2013 in Dubai. Earlier this summer, the carrier was honored to receive the title of “Best Western European Airline” and “Best Transatlantic Airline” at the World Airline Awards in Paris.
