Lufthansa will lay off more people and shut down more aircraft

Lufthansa, which the German government has decided to support with nine billion euros, has so far expected to reduce its squadron by 100 machines in the medium term.

This year, however, due to continuing travel restrictions, it is newly estimated that the offer of flights will be at 20 to 30 percent compared to the pre-crisis period.

Originally, the company assumed that by the end of this year, it would have half the aircraft back in the air.

Lufthansa will decommission eight large-capacity A380 aircraft and ten A340-600 aircraft, which it originally expected to return to service, for a long time. The remaining seven A340-600 machines will also be permanently out of order.

According to the latest figures, Germany’s largest airline employs about 128,000 people. Last year, there were 10,000 more, and mostly those who worked for the company left the company.

Lufthansa plans to cut its managerial position by 20 percent in the first quarter of next year and reduce office space in Germany by 30 percent.

The coronavirus crisis has hit air travel around the world hard. Lufthansa is losing 500 million euros a month and hopes to reduce office space by 100 million a month less in the winter.
