TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS LUFTHANSA GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2019 5 Letter from the Executive Board Ladies and gentlemen, 2019 was another demanding year for the global airline industry. Slower economic growth worldwide, trade disputes, uncertainty surrounding Brexit and overcapacities – especially in the German market – and the resulting price erosion also affected the performance of the Lufthansa Group. Despite these difficult conditions, we can point to some successes: we have reduced our unit costs for the fourth year in succession. Lufthansa German Airlines and SWISS performed well on long-haul routes. This is also reflected in our passenger numbers, which reached new records.
