Lufthansa Private Jet (LPJ) says it is looking at extending its European focused branded services to North America and Asia in response to client demand.

LPJ operates what it describes as seamless travel to onward regional airports for Lufthansa and Swiss long-haul clients. The price depends on distance and includes all charges and costs irrespective of the number of passengers on board the aircraft. Catering and in-flight entertainment are tailored to suit individual requirements.

LPJ operates a fleet that includes the CJ1, the CJ3 and the XLS with Germany's DC Aviation and Austria's Jetalliance chosen to provide extra capability.

Lufthansa, which owns LPJ, says it is talking to potential operating partners in North America and Asia. There are currently no plans to acquire additional operating aircraft. It says: "Today around 30 per cent of LPJ's clients are hub-to-point travellers and the remainder are charter clients using the service for point-to-point travel."
