Passengers traveling aboard German airline Lufthansa will now have the ability to board their flights using a new app designed for the Apple Watch.

The newly released Lufthansa app, which is available for free at the App Store, also provides users and passengers with information about their flights, along with many other functions.

Chief Commercial Officer Jens Bischof of Lufthansa said, "Our goal is to provide our customers with information and services in real time at all virtual touch points, thereby make their travel experience more comfortable."

"With this new app, our passengers will always be able to see the most important details about their flight, without having to take their smartphone out of their bag," Bischof added.

Using Bluetooth, the Lufthansa app connects with the German airline's iPhone and iPad app. Its technology works by combining all the flight information and displaying it to the passengers.

It can inform travelers about the time they have left till the boarding time and can also remind them about their flight schedule 24 hours before the departure time.

According to a report, only passengers who joined and have the "Miles & More" cards will have the ability to use the Lufthansa app. The app will later be available for those who don't have the Miles & More cards.

Last month, an iPad app glitch, which was identified by American Airlines, had caused about seventy flight delays at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

The problem was that two different versions of a runway map for the airport were in contradiction to each other, causing the app to malfunction. American Airlines was the first major airline to utilize tablets in all its aircraft cockpits.

United Airline also recently launched the "Bug Bounty Program," in which it is inviting computer experts to hack its websites and mobile apps. Those who are interested will have the chance to fly for free.

The program aims to uncover bugs and security flaws within the airline's software systems.
