Overview

• The plan represents nearly 4% of Lufthansa Group’s roughly 103,000 employees.
• Affected roles are administrative rather than operational across Eurowings, Austrian, Swiss, Brussels Airlines and ITA Airways.
• Management issued 2028–2030 targets that include an 8–10% adjusted operating margin, more than €2.5 billion in annual free cash flow, and a 15–20% adjusted return on capital employed.
• Lufthansa says the reductions will result from digitalization, automation and process consolidation to boost efficiency.
• The move lands during a German economic downturn, as other major employers such as Bosch announce job cuts.
