Overview

• Lufthansa set a mid‑term adjusted EBIT margin goal of 8–10% and said this year’s adjusted operating profit should surpass last year’s €1.6 billion.
• The 4,000 reductions will be completed by 2030 and focus on administration rather than cockpit or cabin roles, driven by digitalization and process consolidation.
• Short‑ and medium‑haul networks across Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian and Brussels Airlines will be centrally controlled from January 2026, with IT functions also consolidated.
• Vereinigung Cockpit reported decisive strike mandates at Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cargo, with participation around 90–95% and approval of 88% and 96% respectively, though no strike date was set.
• About 1,500 roles are planned to be relocated to international sites, implying disproportionate cuts at Frankfurt, as Ver.di vows to resist broad job losses in upcoming bargaining.
