Lufthansa Airport Express
The Lufthansa Airport Express was an express train service in Germany, initially linking Düsseldorf and Frankfurt am Main Flughafen (Frankfurt Airport), and later Stuttgart too. The trains were operated by Deutsche Bundesbahn (German Federal Railway, or DB) on behalf of the German airline Lufthansa,〔La Légende des TEE p. 398.〕 and with the airline providing the on-board customer service staff, and its use was limited to Lufthansa customers taking airplane flights into or out of Frankfurt or Düsseldorf airports.〔"Table 2000: Airport Links".

== Preparations ==
In 1981 the German airline Lufthansa wanted to lower the costs of the very expensive shorthaul flights between Düsseldorf Airport and Frankfurt am Main, and they came up with the idea of replacing these flights with rail transport.〔TEE Züge in Deutschland p. 33.〕 The Deutsche Bundesbahn agreed and eliminated a problem of their own, that the Class 403 electric multiple units (EMUs) that were stored and not generating any revenue because they did not fit into the two-class InterCity system.〔TEE Züge in Deutschland p. 32.〕 On 13 and 16 February 1981, the Class 403 made test runs as ''TEE Goethe'' on the West Rhine Railway.〔La Légende des TEE p. 69.〕 The Class 403, consisting of three EMUs only, were refurbished and re-fitted with the same seats as the Lufthansa DC-10 business class and the grey-yellow Lufthansa livery on the outside.〔
