June 16, 2020
In addition, the German group has announced that, given the serious consequences of the pandemic for the entire aviation industry, the need restructuring of the business will apply to almost all the companies in the group starting with Germanwings, whose fleet will not be put back into operation. In addition, Eurowings will reduce administrative staff by 30% and cut 300 jobs and Austrian Airlines has been taken over surplus of 1,100 staff due to the downsizing of the fleet. Finally, in Brussels Airlines there will be 1,000 jobs cut and Lufthansa Cargo 500 jobs work.
"Based on our current estimates of the trend over the next three years, Michael explained Niggemann, Managing Director responsible for resources Deutsche Lufthansa's legal activities - for the Lufthansa alone we have no prospect of employment for a pilot in seven and one in six flight attendants, as well as many employees on the ground. This overcapacity could increase even more if we don't find a way to overcoming the crisis with competitive staff costs."
As of 31 December last year, the German group was working on more 138,000 people. "In the biggest crisis in the aviation history, Niggemann said, despite all the challenges we want to secure over 100,000 jobs in the long term Lufthansa Group. This requires a painful restructuring, which we want to implement in the most socially responsible as possible."
