Compared, job reductions will be carried out by digitizing, automating and integrating procedures, with the majority of reductions being recorded in Germany, according to a statement in view of the company’s capital market day on Monday (29.9.25) in Munich, according to Bloomberg.
Lufthansa said it seeks to achieve a free cash flow of more than 2.5 billion euros ($ 2.9 billion) from 2028 to 2030 and a customized 15% to 20% employment yield in this period. The adapted operating margin will be 8-10% in this time frame, Lufthansa said.
The new goals come as the CEO of Carsten SPOHR seeks to improve performance by limiting costs. Last year, the group was forced to reduce its forecasts twice and failed to achieve the medium -term profit margin targets it set for 2021, as a series of strikes affected profitability.
The airline faces a renewed threat of labor unrest. The pilots are going to complete their strike on Tuesday (30.9.25) through the Vereinigung Cockpit trade union, possibly laying the foundations for new strikes that could disrupt their functions and economic performance.
Continued delays in aircraft deliveries also prevent Lufthansa’s refurbishment and transition to more fuel economy models. The release of the new premium Allegris cabin faces obstacles. Certification for Business Class Seats in Boeing 787-9 is still pending, forcing the carrier to keep the seats blocked from passengers to their approval.
