Shrinking the Carbon Footprint and Improving the Bottom Line AeroSHARK Shrinking the carbon footprint and improving the bottom line Close to 5 million tons of kerosene per year. That’s the fuel savings the global fleet of aircraft could achieve with AeroSHARK coating technology. And we’re well past proof of concept. AeroSHARK mproving fuel efficiency - and the other applied to the aircraft body depending on directly related key benefit: lower the type and function of the surface - wings, Iemissions - starts with anything that fuselage or control surfaces. When aligned helps the aircraft cut through the air with with the airflow, the riblets achieve the least drag and the most lift - in addition efficiency gains, i.e. reduced friction and to less weight, of course.

  • General Meeting of Deutsche Lufthansa Ag – Speech by the Chairman of the Executive Board and Ceo Carsten Spohr
    Speech GENERAL MEETING OF DEUTSCHE LUFTHANSA AG – SPEECH BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD AND CEO CARSTEN SPOHR 4 May 2021, virtual Lufthansa Aviation Center, Frankfurt To be checked against delivery. SPEECH: General Meeting of Deutsche Lufthansa AG – Speech by the Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO Carsten Spohr Dear Shareholders, I also welcome you to the Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Lufthansa AG. Unfortunately, for the third time only virtually, from our Group headquarters, the Lufthansa Aviation Center in Frankfurt. I speak for the entire Lufthansa Executive Board when I say that we would really have liked to welcome you in person today. But it was not yet to be. You saw it earlier in the short video clip: behind us is a year that was historic in many respects. A year in which we had to bear a record loss of 5.5 billion euros. A year in which we lost two-thirds of our revenue and as many as three-quarters of our passengers, and a year in which we had to reduce the size of our workforce by one-fifth. But after this historic and unprecedented year, one thing is also certain: the Lufthansa Group will not only get through this crisis. We are using this crisis to become better. Following the three most successful years in our history, we entered this crisis through no fault of our own. We were stronger than ever, as one of the top five airline groups worldwide, profitable and solidly financed, with successful brands operating out of the economically strongest home markets in Europe and not to mention the best employees in the industry.

  • PRESS RELEASE Frankfurt/Munich, 11 June 2021
    PRESS RELEASE Frankfurt/Munich, 11 June 2021 Lufthansa deploys the "Jumbo" and Airbus A350 to Mallorca due to high summer vacation demand − Wide body aircraft to operate to Palma de Mallorca from both Frankfurt and Munich − First departure planned from Frankfurt on July 17 and on 31 July from Mu- nich − Tickets now available for booking Lufthansa is taking extraordinary measures in order to respond to a significant in- crease in booking demand for flights to Palma de Mallorca from both Frankfurt and Munich. The booking figures for the destination "PMI" have increased 25 times be- tween April and the beginning of June 2021: The airline will be operating a Boeing 747-8 from Frankfurt to Palma de Mallorca four Saturdays in a row during the up- coming summer vacation in Hesse. Additionally, the airline also plans to operate an Airbus A350 from Munich to the Balearic Island at the start of the summer vaca- tion in Bavaria. Although these routes are normally operated by an Airbus A321, on 31 July, two wide-body Lufthansa aircraft will be arriving on Palma de Mallorca. Departing Frankfurt with the "Jumbo" The Boeing 747-8 is the largest aircraft that Lufthansa is currently operating, of- fering up to 364 seats instead of the usual 215, which are normally available on this route. This wide-body aircraft offers passengers 88 Business Class seats (in- cluding First Class) as well as 276 seats in Economy Class (including Premium Economy). The first “Jumbo” flight, LH1152, will be departing the Rhine Main metropolis on Saturday 17July at 10:20 a.m., just in time for the start of the Hessian summer vacation, and arrive at Palma de Mallorca airport at 12:25 p.m.

Data envelopment analysis has become a highly accepted methodology for performing efficiency analysis and assessing relative differences between comparable business entities; over the last decade, airline efficiency research has proliferated into this linear programming domain. While early airline efficiency research focused primarily on revenue generation and profitability, growing commercial social responsibility is driving greater investment into understanding and improving the environmental impact of airline operations.
