Lufthansa Group reported a 10% increase in revenue for the first quarter of 2025, reaching 8.1 billion euros, up from 7.4 billion euros in the previous year. The company reduced its operating loss to 722 million euros, improving from a loss of 849 million euros in the same period last year. Carsten Spohr, the CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, stated, "Global demand for air travel continues to grow," expressing optimism for a positive outlook in 2025 despite geopolitical challenges.
An improvement in punctuality and stability was highlighted, with Spohr noting a reduction in compensation payments for flight disruptions, leading to better operational performance, especially for the core Lufthansa brand. The Group's airlines expanded capacity by nearly 5%, but load factors slightly decreased to 78.7%. Revenue from passenger airlines saw a 6% rise to 5.9 billion euros, although cost increases impacted results. Spohr acknowledged the team's efforts by stating, "I would therefore like to express my special thanks to all crew members, technicians, and employees at the airports and in the operations centers of our airlines, who contributed to this success with their great commitment."
The North Atlantic routes performed strongly, with passenger numbers rising by 7.1%. Lufthansa Technik and Lufthansa Cargo also showed positive trends, with Technik's revenue increasing by 18% and Cargo generating an adjusted EBIT of 62 million euros.
