We will never forget it. The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic dealt an unprecedented blow to the entire airline industry and this also to the Lufthansa Group. Last year, we welcomed only 36 million passengers on board our flights – a quarter of our normal passenger numbers. Our passenger airlines had to cut their capacity significantly, and for much longer and in more areas than anticipated over the course of the year.

    PRESS RELEASE East Meadow, November 7, 2019 Further informations on Lufthansa Group achieves an Adjusted EBIT of EUR 1.3 billion third-quarter results: → https://investor- in the third quarter relations.lufthansagroup. com/en/publications/fina ncial-reports.html − Third-quarter result only slightly below prior-year level, despite economic slowdown and higher fuel costs − Substantially greater unit cost reduction than in the first-half year − Slower growth at Group airlines and their competitors helps counter pricing pressures in Europe − North Atlantic business still buoyant, with third-quarter performance exceeding prior-year − Full-year guidance confirmed In a challenging operating environment, Lufthansa Group achieved an Adjusted EBIT of EUR 1.3 billion for the third quarter of 2019, only slightly below the EUR 1.4 billion of the prior-year period. Against the backdrop of higher fuel costs, which were EUR 171 million above their 2018 level in the third quarter alone, the Group delivered a sound business performance for the period. “Our airlines were able to translate their premium quality and market strength into solid third-quarter earnings,” confirms Carsten Spohr, Chairman of the Executive Board & CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG. “At Eurowings the turnaround measures are showing first results; and at Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Lufthansa Cargo we will be taking tangible corrective action to improve earnings. As Europe’s leading airline group, we are on a sound and stable strategic course.” The third-quarter earnings were supported by continued strong business on North Atlantic routes. Unit costs were also substantially reduced in the third quarter, particularly at the Network Airlines.

  • Risk & Reward in Aircraft Backed Finance
    Modeling Aircraft Loan & Lease Portfolios 3rd revision Discussion Notes October 2017 Modeling Aircraft Loans & Leases Discussion notes December 2013 2 PK AirFinance is a sub-business of GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS). The company provides and arranges debt to airlines and investors secured by commercial aircraft. Cover picture by Serge Michels, Luxembourg. 3 Preface These discussion notes are a further update to notes that I prepared in 2010 and revised in 2013. The issues discussed here are ones that we have pondered over the last 25 years, trying to model aircraft loans and leases quantitatively. In 1993, Jan Melgaard (then at PK) and I worked with Bo Persson in Sweden to develop an analytic model of aircraft loans that we called SAFE. This model evolved into a Monte Carlo simulation tool, Lending EDGE, that was taken into operation at PK in 2012 and validated under ISRS 4400 by Deloitte in 2013. I have now made some corrections and amendments to the previous version, based on helpful feed-back from industry practitioners and academics. I have added a section on Prepayment Risk in loans and expanded on Jurisdiction Risk. My work at PK AirFinance has taught me a lot about risks and rewards in aircraft finance, not least from the deep experience and insight of many valued customers and my co-workers here at PK and at GECAS, our parent company, but the views and opinions expressed herein are my own, and do not necessarily represent those of the General Electric Company or its subsidiaries. In preparing these notes, I have been helped by several people with whom I have had many inspiring discussions.

  • European Airlines Exposed As Significant Opponents of EU Climate
    EMBARGOED to 00:01 GMT, June 10th, 2021 European airlines exposed as significant opponents of EU climate policy New documents shed light on systematic anti-climate lobbying campaign amid billions in government bailouts Europe's largest airlines - which collectively received €30 billion in taxpayer support during the COVID-19 pandemic - have emerged as some of the most significant opponents of ambitious climate policy in the region, according to a new report by InfluenceMap. These efforts have continued even though many companies are now being part-owned by governments due to the COVID-19 bailout agreements. InfluenceMap's report is based on nearly 800 evidence pieces as well as dozens of documents obtained by Freedom of Information requests. Taken together, they shed new light on the extent of the aviation sector's anti-climate lobbying targeting the EU and European governments. This is despite the sector publicly declaring its commitment to net-zero emissions for European aviation by 2050. The report details the industry's two-level strategy to avoid effective regulation. The sector is lobbying against EU- level policies - such as the Sustainable Aviation Fuels blending mandate and the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) while also trying to weaken the international carbon offsetting scheme, CORSIA. Amidst all of this, airlines have initiated extensive climate-focused PR campaigns - like those undertaken by the oil & gas sector - to deflect responsibility for the sector’s carbon footprint and to tackle growing ‘flight shame’ among the public. Information revealed in the report includes: • The ongoing industry campaign to weaken the EU ETS with regards to aviation and replace it with the CORSIA offsetting scheme, including direct lobbying by Lufthansa, Air France-KLM, and International Airlines Group (IAG).

  • Recommended Best Practices for Commercial Operators
    OPERATIONS IN AIRSPACE CLASS E IN GERMANY BELOW FL100 RECOMMENDED BEST PRACTICES FOR COMMERCIAL OPERATORS The following best practices have been developed by flight safety officers and experts to enhance the safety of operations in airspace Class E below FL100 to prevent collisions between controlled and uncontrolled aircraft in a mixed traffic environment. Recommendations for training departments and pilots • IMPROVE AIRSPACE AWARENESS Train pilots to be aware of shortfalls in the existing airspace structure – annual training and NOT only by bulletin using two components: o Generic briefing on airspace Class E in Germany o Dedicated airport briefing documents o Include risk and threats in unprotected airspace in individual departure and arrival briefing • OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS o FLY DEFENSIVELY! o Maintain Minimum Clean Airspeed or as slow as reasonable o Request to use protected airspace – minimise time in airspace Class E and refuse shortcuts if necessary. Most standard departures and approaches/transitions will facilitate this. o Descend according to airspace structure on arrival. Steep/expedited climb through airspace Class E on departure. o Consider airspace structure for engine out procedures o Consider delaying take-off if conflict with other aircraft is anticipated • USE OF AUTOMATION IN AIRSPACE CLASS ECHO o Minimise visual approaches – they require additional attention and increase flight time in unprotected airspace o Maximise lookout capacity through use of automation (FMS/task sharing) • SEE AND AVOID o Maximise lookout

While the city has grown in terms of investment and social capital, it has not attained the preeminent status on the global stage that was expected. One important reason for this is that Berlin remains no more than a secondary hub in the global airline industry. In this article, we measure the city’s importance in airline networks at four points from 1989 to 2006. We then explain the city’s stature in those networks today as a product of both larger forces in the airline industry and circumstances more specific to Berlin. The former include liberalization and the development of airline alliances. In Berlin, meanwhile, the fractured airport system, which the city inherited from the Cold War, has been an obstacle to Berlin’s aspirations for centrality in the airline industry.
