I'm incredibly proud to have represented SunExpress in the Lufthansa Group CultureLAB journey and to see TravelConnect becoming a reality.
What started as an idea to strengthen a sense of belonging across the Lufthansa Group has evolved into a feature that will help colleagues connect, share local knowledge, and create meaningful experiences wherever they travel. It is inspiring to see how cross-functional collaboration can turn empathy into something tangible for more than 100,000 colleagues across the Group.
A heartfelt thank you to Jürgen for believing in this initiative and giving us the opportunity to turn an idea into reality. Your support and sponsorship made this journey possible.
My sincere thanks also go to my amazing teammates, Hazel, Carlos, Katja, and Michelle, for their creativity, openness, and commitment throughout this journey. It has been a privilege to work alongside such talented colleagues from across the Lufthansa Group.
A very special thank you to our coach, Carla, whose energy, guidance, and constant encouragement kept challenging us to think differently and push our idea further. Your passion truly made a difference.
Finally, thank you to everyone who helped make TravelConnect a reality—from our CultureLAB community to the Flight Search and help alliance teams. This is a great example of what we can achieve when we collaborate beyond organizational boundaries.
Here's to creating even more connections across our Lufthansa Group family. ✈️💙
