Flight data in your scheduling – not as a booking confirmation managed by each employee individually.
Connect to Lufthansa API – Customized and Seamless
The Lufthansa Group offers access to flight schedules, real-time flight status, booking information, seat availability, and airport data through its API program (Lufthansa Open API) – for Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines, and other group companies. Companies use this data for business travel planning, travel expense management, customer service, and logistics coordination. For operationally complex companies with regular travel needs, Lufthansa data is relevant because flight information directly impacts scheduling, resource coordination, and cost control. We integrate the Lufthansa API into custom business software. No off-the-shelf standard connection, no plugin with restrictions – but a tailored connection that fits perfectly into your processes and system.
What We Connect
| Integration Possibilities | |
|---|---|
| 🔄 | Automatically retrieve flight schedules and availability and integrate them into travel or resource planning |
| 📊 | Capture real-time flight status and represent it in operational monitoring |
| 📄 | Automatically assign flights to customer appointments, projects, or travel requests |
| ⚡ | Event-driven workflows – e.g., inform customers in case of delays, suggest alternatives if a flight is canceled |
| 🔗 | End-to-end integration with planning, travel expense accounting, project management, CRM, and other systems |
How the Integration Works
We work directly with the Lufthansa Open API – endpoints for Flight Schedules, Flight Status, Seat Availability, and Reference Data. The integration is developed as a fixed component of your Operating System – no third-party middleware, no workarounds. What this specifically means:
| 🏗️ | Customized connection – built for your processes, not for the average |
| 🔄 | Automatic data flow – no manual flight searches or status inquiries |
| 🗄️ | A single data source – flight data flows into your central system |
| 🛡️ | Secure and GDPR-compliant – API key-based, encrypted, and documented |
Typical Use Case
A consulting company with 70 employees sends 15 to 20 consultants by plane to customer appointments weekly. Until now, everyone booked individually, flight times were manually entered into calendars, and the scheduling team roughly estimated travel times. When a flight is canceled, project management learned through a phone call. Travel expense reports were reconstructed afterward.
With the integration, flight data automatically flows into the Operating System. For new customer appointments, the system suggests suitable connections. On the travel day, the system monitors the flight status in real time – if a flight is canceled, the customer is informed and an alternative is suggested. Flight data flows into billing and project controlling. Management sees travel expenses per project and customer as an integrated metric.
Part of Your Operating System
The Lufthansa API provides reliable flight data in real time. However, if used in isolation, it remains an information service that each employee queries individually. Only as part of an integrated system do flight data realize their full operational benefits – when connections automatically flow into planning, disruptions trigger processes, and business trips are not treated as private organization but as a manageable component of daily operations. We develop AI-powered Operating Systems for operationally complex companies. The Lufthansa integration is one building block of that.
