Fewer departures: Lufthansa has a North American problem

North America is for the Lufthansa Group, which has a much larger market for most major airlines. Only if European women and Europeans are going to have their vacation. Again, we would fly many people from the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. Often with Lufthansa. With a trip in Frankfurt or Munich you fly on to another credible vacation home.

If you are in this particular segment, it is not good for Lufthansa at all, as financial chief Jörg Beißel showed during a mid-term interview that day. “In Economy Class we only get seats with large price slips,” he said.

Detour is gone

The Grund is the gestigene Konkurrenz – no longer in Strecken in Germany. Fly flights from the US to Ziele in Greece, Italy or Spain, non-stop and travel via Frankfurt or Munich to the airport. Agreed that it is so that it is no longer in the continental traffic, if the group leaves out the largest traffic.

Other brands of the Gruppe airlines are Margen on Flügen in Atlantik Leiden. Among the Swiss, it is one of the most popular paradoxes: one of the most credible images of the summer of 2024 in North America: Boston, Los Angeles, New York and Miami. Only Bangkok does not cut it from the rest of the world.

Swiss Fluge «sehr, sehr full»

“Unsere Flüge since sehr, sehr full,” said the chief of traffic, Heike Birlenbach. If you want to take the next step: It’s a Swiss thing to do everything in Economy Class.

It is a fact that the German Schweizerairline is taking to the skies. Denn: The Schweizer flies high, so that the first impression is made, Birlenbach explains. Also Ziele, to which many people fly on holiday – or on business grounds. Lufthansa flies in the US to a second flight. It is a good idea to do this.
