LTU International Airways,[1] usually shortened to LTU and legally incorporated as LTU Lufttransport-Unternehmen GmbH, was a German leisure airline headquartered in Düsseldorf. It operated medium and long-haul routes and maintained hubs in Düsseldorf, Munich and at Tegel Airport in Berlin. LTU was acquired by Air Berlin in 2007.[1][2] Use of the LTU brand ceased in 2009, and LTU itself was dissolved by April 2011.[3]
