LTU Süd

Lufttransport Süd, or LTS, was an airline based in Munich and it flew from May 1984 until it merged with LTU in 1998. LTU Süd was opened in order to operate much more cost efficient flights out of Munich with lower wage employees newly hired off the street. LTU intended for LTU Süd to fly European, African and Far-east destination out of Munich with 757s. After the 1988 recertification of ETOPS to be allowed to fly overwater past 180 minutes, LTU Süd acquired 767 aircraft in 1989 to fly across the Atlantic and the Far East. For the purpose of operating transatlantic flights out of DUS with the 767, LTU opened an additional crew domicile for LTU Süd at the LTU Halle 8 in DUS.
