Group load factors for July 2010 compared with last year

Sales growth continues at high load factors

The dynamic recovery in passenger and freight traffic continued in

July. On a like-for-like basis (i.e. without Austrian Airlines and includ-

ing bmi restructuring since July) the Passenger Airline Group carried

5.4 per cent more passengers than in the same month a year ago.

Sales rose by 4.6 per cent and were well up on last year in all trafficregions. The passenger load factor improved by 1.5 percentage

points to a very high 84.9 per cent while capacity increased by 2.8

per cent. Load factors in the long-haul regions America and

Asia/Pacific reached record levels of nearly 90 per cent. The pricing

environment remains robust.

Lufthansa Passenger Airlines reported an increase in the load

factor of 1.6 percentage points to 84.7 per cent. Capacity was ex-

tended by 4.6 per cent, while the number of flights was only 2.0 per

cent higher than last year. This particularly reflects the reorganisation

of decentral short-haul traffic. Sales increases and high load factors

were achieved in all traffic regions. In the Americas traffic region the

passenger load factor stayed at last year's high figure (89.2%; -0.6

pp), while 5.8 per cent stronger sales in Asia/Pacific drove the loadfactor up by 4.6 percentage points to 89.5 per cent. In the Middle

East/Africa region, sales grew much faster than capacity at 15.0 per

cent, taking the passenger load factor up to the 80 per cent mark.

SWISS expanded sales sharply by 9.7 per cent. The main driver

behind the increase was again strong growth rates on long-haul

routes. The passenger load factor rose overall by 0.8 percentage

points to 87.2 per cent.

Austrian Airlines saw passenger numbers and sales go up by 13.7

and 7.4 per cent respectively. The load factor climbed by 3.6 per-

centage points to 82.7 per cent.

Figures for bmi document the company's consequent restructuring.

Capacity was cut by 27.6 per cent compared with the same monthlast year. The passenger load factor remained high at 80.1 per cent

(-0.5 pp).

The dynamic recovery of prior months continued in the freight busi-

ness as well. Sales at Lufthansa Cargo soared by 19.8 per cent,

while capacity was extended year on year by 10.3 per cent. For the

first time, this includes the freight business of Austrian Airlines, which

is presented under Lufthansa Cargo as the integration took place in

July. The load factor improved overall by 5.6 percentage points to

70.7 per cent, again higher than before the crisis level.

Lufthansa generates operating profit of EUR 159 million in Q2

Lufthansa presented its figures for the first half of 2010 on 29 July.

The Lufthansa Group closed the first six months with revenue of EUR

12.6bn (previous year: EUR 10.2bn) and an operating loss of EUR

171m (previous year: EUR +8m). The net loss for the period im-

proved to EUR -104m (previous year: EUR -178m). In the second

quarter, an operating profit of EUR 159m (previous year: EUR 52m)was earned on revenue of EUR 6.9bn (previous year: EUR 5.2bn).The momentum behind the performance of our business has gener-

ally made Lufthansa even more confident of reaching its profitability

targets. The Executive Board therefore continues to expect higher

revenue and is also expecting to increase operating profit in line with

current market expectations.

Austrian Lufthansa Cargo GmbH successfully launched

The integration of the freight capacities of Austrian Airlines and Luf-

thansa Cargo made a successful start on 1 July, with Austrian Luf-

thansa Cargo GmbH commencing operations in Vienna. The joint

company, in which Lufthansa Cargo holds 74 per cent and Austrian

Airlines 26 per cent, markets both airlines' freight capacities in Aus-

tria. In all other countries the freight activities have been pooled un-der the roof of Lufthansa Cargo.

Lufthansa Technik extends its presence in Berlin Schnefeld

The construction of the large airport in Berlin will lead to a strong rise

in the local demand for MRO services. Lufthansa Technik is therefore

extending its presence in Berlin and is to build a new hangar for air-

craft maintenance at the future Berlin Brandenburg International

Airport. From 2012, Lufthansa aircraft will be serviced in the new

hangar with its three bays for short and medium-haul jets. At the

same time, capacities can be extended for other customers of Luf-

thansa Technik in Berlin.

LSG Sky Chefs renews contract with Virgin America

The Catering segment achieved an important contract renewal inJuly. LSG Sky Chefs and Virgin America agreed to extend their exist-

ing partnership until 2013.As part of the renewed contract LSG Sky Chefs is to provide various

services such as catering, menu and catering specifications and

operational planning at the existing seven locations, with the site in

Orlando, Florida, being added in August 2010.

Lufthansa Systems extends customer portfolioWith two contract wins, the IT Services segment again demonstrated

the attractiveness of its IT solutions independently of the customers'

business model. In July, Lufthansa Systems won TUIfly Nordic as a

new customer for its navigation solution Lido/RouteManual. The

companies signed a five-year contract. In early August, Air China

Cargo renewed its contract, also for five years. The Beijing-basedcargo airline has been using NetLine/Load solutions from Lufthansa

Systems since early 2005 to optimise its load-planning processes.

The next Investor Info with the traffic data for August will be pub-

lished on 9 September 2010.
