Lufthansa is one of the big five European airlines which in January 2016 formed Airlines for Europe, a new Brussels-based lobbying association to create a single voice for the major players in the industry. Here A350-941 D-AIXC (msn 87) is pictured at Tel Aviv.

The newly-established Airlines International Representation in Europe includes Turkish Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines but its membership is mainly made up of smaller carriers such as Corsair, whose Boeing 747-422 F-GTUI (c/n 26875) is pictured departing Paris-Orly.
