Unlike the subsidiary Lufthansa CityLine the other members of the regional group Lufthansa Aviation are legally independent so-called franchisees. Contact Air from Stuttgart is no exception. The company founded in 1974 today operates an ultra-modern fleet consisting of seven ATR-42s and six ATR-72. It operates the ATR-72-500 registered D-ANFI on behalf of Lufthansa Regional which is now released at Herpa as full metal model in the 1/200 scale.
