Such a jubilee presents a good opportunity to reflect on the past and to look into the future. Behind us lies a long, often varied and always highly eventful past, which has been defined by continuous growth and our aspiration to combine tradition and innovation. We have driven change at all times and simultaneously held on to tried and tested practices. We took the 100-year anniversary of the crane as the opportunity to freshen up our image. This is perhaps the most visible sign of modernisation at the Lufthansa Group. In accordance with this, in 2017 we concluded the most successful year in the history of the Lufthansa Group. Never before as many passengers have flown with our Group’s airlines and never before have we generated as much revenue from special and express freight. Never before has Lufthansa Technik serviced as many aircraft and never before has our catering company LSG prepared as many meals.
