The German National Airline
It is a major part of the Star Alliance and has some great hub airports - Munich and Frankfurt.
Recently Lufthansa has been on an acquisition binge, buying Swiss and a number of smaller airlines, although they tend to continue to operate them separately, rather than folding them into the Lufthansa brand.
