  AiRail Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AiRail Service is offered by Deutsche Bahn AG in cooperation with Lufthansa German Airlines, American Airlines, and Emirates.
AiRail Service uses the high speed lines between Siegburg and Frankfurt (maximum speed of 300 km/h) and between Stuttgart and Mannheim (maximum speed of 250 km/h), rendering the train service faster and more reliable than air transport on the same route.
AiRail Service was established some decades ago, when Deutsche Bundesbahn (now Deutsche Bahn AG) established a direct connection between Düsseldorf and Frankfurt Airport using the DB 403 "Donald Duck" EMU with tilting technology in Lufthansa livery.
