Eight Million Protective Masks Arrived in Munich Bavarian Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder, German Federal Minister of Transport Andreas Scheuer and Lufthansa Group CEO Carsten Spohr welcome the aircraft upon arrival Apr 07, 2020 19:41 CEST Eight million protective masks arrived in Munich A Lufthansa Cargo aircraft carrying eight million protective masks on board landed in Munich, late Tuesday afternoon. The Boeing 777F, named "Olá Brazil", departed Shanghai earlier this morning and after a brief stopover in the South Korean capital Seoul, the aircraft continued its flight to Munich, where it landed punctually at 5:50 pm. The aircraft was welcomed personally by the Bavarian Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder, the German Federal Minister of Transport Andreas Scheuer and the Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Carsten Spohr. The eight million masks were packed in 4,000 cartons, weighing 26 tons all together. The shipment was transported by Lufthansa Cargo on behalf of the Bavarian State Government in cooperation with the logistics company Fiege. "The cooperation with Bavaria and partners such as Lufthansa for the rapid procurement of the protective equipment is excellent. All procedures are perfectly coordinated. Whether it is logistics, assignments, decisions, reliability - it all fits together," said Federal Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer. "Especially now, cargo flights are of utmost importance for medical facilities but also for craftsmen and large corporations. We are doing everything we can to maintain supply chains during this crisis and ensure that people receive sufficient supplies. This is an important part of our corporate responsibility as a leading European aviation group," said Carsten Spohr, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG. At present, all 17 Lufthansa Cargo freighters are continuously operating to transport urgently needed goods, such as medical supplies, around the world and to Germany. In addition to the regular cargo flights, this week there will be 25 special flights with Lufthansa passenger aircraft, which will be used solely as freighters. A further 60 cargo flights with passenger aircraft are planned for next week. Lufthansa Cargo AG With a turnover of 2.5 billion euros and 8.9 billion revenue tonne-kilometres in 2019, Lufthansa Cargo is one of the world's leading companies in the transport of air freight. The company currently employs about 4,500 people worldwide. Lufthansa Cargo focuses on the airport-to-airport business.

The bulk of the cargo business is routed through Frankfurt Airport. Lufthansa Cargo is a wholly owned Lufthansa subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG and Lufthansa Group’s logistics specialist.

  • Carsten Spohr's Speech
    Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Lufthansa AG Speech by the Chairman and CEO Carsten Spohr 5 May 2020 (virtual) Lufthansa Aviation Center, Frankfurt Final speech 5 May 2020 To be checked against delivery at the Annual General Meeting 1 I. Welcome Address / AGM in Times of Corona / Key Figures 2019 Dear Shareholders, I too bid you a very warm welcome to the very first virtual Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Lufthansa AG. We will be reporting to you from our Group headquarters at the Lufthansa Aviation Center in Frankfurt. I would of course much rather have welcomed you all personally to the Jahrhunderthalle in Frankfurt and answered your questions in person; however, the Corona Crisis still has a firm grip on us all and no one can say for sure for how much longer. The clip that we opened the meeting with still shows the “old” Lufthansa world – and the world before Corona. Now, only a few months later, we find ourselves in the midst of the most severe global economic slump since 1930. Once again, air transport is disproportionately affected. We decided to open our Annual General Meeting with the clip anyway, because it reflects the fascination of our industry and company, and shows where we want to return one day. It is the goal for which we are fighting tirelessly during these challenging times: the future of Lufthansa. Global air transport is currently experiencing its worst crisis ever. Almost all countries have imposed entry bans and restrictions, and as a result, our company, your company my dear shareholders, also finds itself in a state of emergency, through no fault of its own.

  • 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.

April 2020 #nooneleftbehind Sehr geehrter Herr Spohr, sehr geehrte Frau Förster, sehr geehrte Herren Vorstände, wir wenden uns heute gemeinsam an Sie, um Ihnen unsere Unterstützung bei allen nötigen Maßnahmen zur Stabilisierung unseres Konzerns in diesen schwierigen Zeiten zuzusichern. Wie viele andere Wirtschaftszweige und Unternehmen auch, trifft unseren Konzern die Corona- Krise unverschuldet und in besonderer Härte. Es werden große Anstrengungen und die Unterstützung aller beteiligten Mitarbeitergremien und Gewerkschaften notwendig sein, um Schaden abzuwenden und eine Zukunft nach der Krise zu sichern. Darum appellieren wir heute an Sie: Riskieren Sie nicht, durch kurzfristige, einseitig getroffene Entscheidungen über Umstrukturierungen, die Unterstützung der Mitarbeiter zu verlieren! Keines der Tochterunternehmen der Lufthansa trägt eine Schuld an dieser Krise. Keine Kollegin und kein Kollege sollte sich in seiner Existenz bedroht sehen, weil strukturelle Entscheidungen seinem direkten Arbeitgeber, der zur Lufthansa Group gehört, die Daseinsberechtigung entziehen. Jedwede Entscheidung zur Ausrichtung des Konzerns muss die Belange aller Mitarbeiter im Blick haben. Wir können uns nicht vorstellen, dass Sie einzelne Gruppen opfern und ernsthaft noch mit konstruktiver Unterstützung Ihrer Mitarbeiter anderer Gruppen rechnen. Ein „heute die, morgen wir“ wäre fatal und entspräche nicht dem Spirit in der Group.

  • Lufthansa's First Flight to BER Lands October 31
    Lufthansa's first flight to BER lands October 31 Lufthansa German Airlines' flight LH2020 was the airline's first to land at the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt (BER) on October 31. Lufthansa’s Airbus A320neo Neubrandenburg took off from Munich (MUC) at 12:50 p.m. and landed at BER on schedule at 2 p.m. In addition to the Chairman of the Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Carsten Spohr, around 40 invited guests were on board. The special flight was 100 percent carbon neutral, as all emissions will be offset via the Lufthansa platform Compensaid, using sustainable fuel. “The maiden flight to the new airport underlines Lufthansa's special and longstanding relationship with the capital,” said a release from Lufthansa. “The airline has been flying to Berlin for 30 years. Since September, the Lufthansa Group, which flies to the capital with six of its airlines, has been the market leader in Berlin.” Lufthansa operates 30 percent of all flights to Berline – twice as many as the “runner up” to Lufthansa Group’s leading position. No other airline group has flown as many Berliners all over the world in recent decades as the Lufthansa Group. Lufthansa has built a 650 square meter lounge with 150 seats. The lounge has been designed in compliance with current hygiene and social distancing regulations. The panoramic window front offers view of the apron and, in good weather, an exclusive view of the famous Berlin TV tower. Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Air Dolomiti flights are handled at “Mainpier,” just a short walk from the lounge.
