Overview

  • Lufthansa's Q1 2025 revenue rose 10% year-on-year to €8.1 billion, reflecting strong demand recovery.
  • The adjusted EBIT loss narrowed by 15% to €722 million, but the passenger segment's losses widened to €934 million.
  • Net losses increased by over 20% to €885 million, largely due to reduced tax relief compared to the previous year.
  • US traveler numbers grew significantly in March, despite ongoing customs disputes, contributing to the airline's revenue gains.
  • CEO Carsten Spohr reaffirmed Lufthansa's goal to exceed last year’s €1.65 billion adjusted EBIT, supported by cost-saving and efficiency measures.
