Thereby, the Management of Deutsche Lufthansa AG has approved the third restructuring package under the Lufthansa Group-wide ReNew program. The decisions of the board include a reassessment of the projected capacity utilization of the company: if before the Deutsche Lufthansa AG expected for the fourth quarter a level of production activity of 50% of the corresponding figure a year earlier, but now “while maintaining current trends” passenger traffic is expected in the amount of 20-30% of 2019 figures. The company plans to reduce its fleet by 150 aircraft to 2025. In addition to the previously announced shortage in the fleet, the company will send to the hangars eight A380 aircraft and ten A340-600, which can be used only in the event of an “unexpectedly rapid recovery of the market”, in addition, seven A340-600 will be written off.

The decisions made by the board will also increase the number of “staff surplus”, which now has 22,000 employees in the state. The question of optimizing the number of employees will be discussed with representatives of the company’s employees.
