Lufthansa loses hope
over summer travel rebound
The German airline
said Thursday (April 29) that it had cut its capacity forecast for the
year.
It now expects to
fly only about 40% of its pre-crisis capacity, down from earlier guidance
of up to 50%.
The group - which
also includes Swiss and Austrian Airlines - still expects a 'significant'
recovery in the second half of the year.
It says bookings
shoot up wherever restrictions are loosened.
But Lufthansa has
stepped up warnings to German unions over job cuts.
The carrier says
it's ready to used forced dismissals to reduce headcount.
Over the first
quarter, sales were down 60% on a year-earlier period only partially hit by
lockdowns.
Lufthansa's net
loss halved to about 1.2 billion dollars, helped by job cuts and reduced
operating costs.
The firm's cargo
businesses - a rare bright spot - posted a record quarterly profit.
Lufthansa shares
were down over 4% by lunchtime on Thursday.
