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. Eurowings flights are mainly handled at the north pier. On November 8, 2020, Berlin-Tegel Airport will close its flight operations and Lufthansa will move to BER. At 6.45 a.m., Lufthansa's flight LH173 to Frankfurt is scheduled to take off from the new capital airport for the first time. First arrivals at BER are planned for November 7. 1 Copyright DutyFree Magazine. All rights reserved..

Case Study on Aircraft Noise Reduction by Variation of Departure Profiles During Night Flights
Deutscher Luft- und Raumfahrtkongress 2019 DocumentID: 490198 CASE STUDY ON AIRCRAFT NOISE REDUCTION BY VARIATION OF DEPARTURE PROFILES DURING NIGHT FLIGHTS M. Mitzkat, C. Strümpfel - Technische Universität Berlin Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Chair of Flight Guidance and Air Transport Marchstr. 12, 10587 Berlin, Germany [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Since the civil air transportation sector has been growing significantly, with an increase not only in number of flights, but also with regards to their environmental impact, emissions have been growing to the same degree. Residents in areas around airports are therefore exposed to an increasing strain of noise pollution. Past scientific research has identified large potential through the implementation of operational noise abatement procedures. The following paper will present a case study concerning noise abatement procedures during departure flight phase as a measure to reduce aircraft noise. The study was conducted on behalf of the aircraft noise commission council of Berlin-Tegel airport. The main objective of this research was to assess whether the reduction of aircraft noise pollution can be achieved by noise abatement procedures, which are specifically adapted for the purpose of night-flights. Therefore, regular domestic overnight airmail flights were conducted as test flights between Berlin-Tegel airport and Stuttgart-Echterdingen airport. Those flights, which were performed from August 2016 to May 2017, qualify perfectly for this study, due to their specific schedule and uniform testing environment combined with a higher general focus on night-time noise immissions. In order to develop sustainable operational procedures for aircraft noise reduction, a holistic approach is nec- essary.

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.

Case Study Berlin Brandenburg Airport
Case study Berlin Brandenburg Airport ACE225 - Project Management in Construction Group 2 Sara Larsson Castro Lovisa Lundblad Gabriella Nilsson Xiaopeng Pang 1 Introduction In 1982 the Federal Government of Germany announced a program to privatise airports due to its background in budget restrictions, resulting in the first planned privatisation project in May 1996, the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER Airport). The airport represented high hopes for Berlin and Germany’s leaders as it would help establish Germany as a new world center, introduce long-distance connections and provide higher passenger capacity. In September 1997 the privatization process started but was fully terminated in 2003 due to a private investor pulling out of the deal. The construction of BER airport was now fully to be built under public sponsorship and the state-owned Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH (FBB), operator of Berlin Tegel Airport and Berlin Schönefeld Airport, took the responsibility upon themselves. Even though the project organisation was initially set up as a main contract by the appointed General Manager, the FBB did not appoint a general contractor. This introduced a line of problems throughout the project, causing a major delay and price overrun. One of the main goals of this project was for the Berlin Brandenburg Airport to become the busiest airport in Germany, with a projected 45 million passengers annually. The demand for air traffic has increased dramatically since 2012, and the increase is still going on, because Berlin is a very attractive City, and the town and its environment are growing each year. This case analysis aims to dig deeper into the issues and problems related to project management that occurred during the project planning, control and execution of the BER airport.
