Even during its first twenty years the Lufthansa facility spawned a flourishing technology company highly respected by its customers. Despite the economic setbacks caused by the oil crises of the seventies, the volume of incoming orders kept growing at double-digit rates. The biggest boost came from the ATLAS Group, an alliance of Lufthansa with Air France, Alitalia and Sabena. Meanwhile the high-flying jumbo jets were becoming more numerous. In November 1976 the first Boeing 747-200 landed in Hamburg. These new aircraft were quieter, emitted less pollutants and were more economical to operate.
