Carsten Spohr, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, said: “Aviation is and remains an industry of the future with sustained strong demand. Especially in unstable times, it enables international understanding through cultural and economic exchange. At the Lufthansa Group, we can look back on the strongest year in our history in terms of revenue, with a new load factor record. I would therefore like to thank our guests for their loyalty and all our employees for their great commitment. ”
Spohr noted that 2024 was a year of two halves for the Lufthansa Group. The first six months saw a significant decline in operating profit due to strikes, delayed aircraft deliveries, and operational challenges at hubs. However, the trend reversed later in the year with two consecutive quarters generating over 10 billion euros each in revenue.
The integration of ITA Airways, improved flight operation stability, and growing customer satisfaction were highlighted as key factors contributing to their success. Spohr added: “This year, 2025, will be a year of transformation for us with a clear goal: to further strengthen our position as the global number one outside the United States. ”
