Group load factors for September 2010 compared with last year

Recovery in demand and load factors continues

For the first time this year the Group's traffic figures are not distorted

by the effects of consolidation. The strong sales trend seen in prior

months continued unchanged throughout September. Sales rose by

a total of 6.8 per cent, while capacity increased by 4.2 per cent. With

pricing environment being unchanged positive, the passenger load

factor picked up on last year by 2.0 percentage points. All traffic re-gions contributed to the strong sales growth. In the two main long-

haul regions the prior months' high load factors were maintained,

while in European traffic and in the Middle East/Africa region they

improved sharply once again.

Lufthansa Passenger Airlines increased its sales by a total of 8.8

per cent compared with last year. The change in capacity reflected

the fleet restructuring to optimise unit costs. For the same number of

flights, available seat kilometres rose by 6.3 per cent. The restructur-

ing of the fleet is particularly visible in short-haul, where capacity

climbed by 10.6 per cent although the number of flights declined by

1.1 per cent. Sales volumes grew even faster at 17.1 per cent, so

that the load factor improved by 4.2 percentage points. Sales in long-

haul traffic were also improved for all traffic regions.

At SWISS too, the strong momentum continued. The company in-

creased its sales by a total of 11.8 per cent, taking the load factor for

its overall network up to a very strong 85.2 per cent (+1.4 pp). This

performance was driven above all by long-haul traffic (sales: +15.5%,

load factor: 88.3%).

Austrian Airlines was also able to take good advantage of the ongo-

ing market recovery. Its sales climbed by 4.2 per cent and the load

factor by 3.0 percentage points. Here too, the effects of fleet changes

to reduce unit costs were apparent. The number of flights was re-

duced by 1.7 per cent, whereby capacity remained the same as last

year.

bmi continued with its restructuring programme in September. The

network was reduced by 24.6 per cent compared with the same

month a year ago. Sales fell by less (-22.9%), enabling bmi to in-crease its load factor by 1.7 percentage points.

The cargo business again put in a strong performance. Sales at Luf-

thansa Cargo were up year on year by 21.3 per cent, well ahead of

increased capacity (+15.4%). The cargo load factor improved by 3.3

percentage points on the previous year, reaching a high 68.3 per

cent.

Christoph Franz to succeed Wolfgang Mayrhuber as Chairman

of the Executive Board and CEO The Supervisory Board of

Deutsche Lufthansa AG has appointed Christoph Franz, the deputy

Chairman of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, to be the future Chairman of

the Executive Board and CEO. He will succeed Wolfgang Mayrhuber

as CEO from 1 January 2011. The members of the Supervisory

Board also appointed Carsten Spohr to the Executive Board with

effect from 1 January. As the board member responsible for Luf-

thansa Passenger Airlines he will also chair the Executive Board for

Passenger Airlines. Karl Ulrich Garnadt, who is currently a member

of the Lufthansa Passenger Airlines Executive Board with responsi-

bility for Hub Management and Passenger Services, will be put for-

ward as his successor for the position of Chairman of the Executive

Board at Lufthansa Cargo AG.Forty-eight aircraft ordered for the Lufthansa GroupThe Supervisory Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG has approved an

order for a total of 48 new aircraft. Eight Airbus A330-300s are des-

tined for long-haul services, with the remaining 40 aircraft to be used

for European traffic. Three of the Airbus A330-300s and twenty

planes from the Airbus A320 family are planned for Lufthansa Pas-

senger Airlines. Another eight new Embraer 195s are to be deployedin Lufthansa's regional traffic. Five new Airbus A330-300s, two Airbus

A321s and two Airbus A320s are intended for SWISS. Germanwings

is to receive eight new Airbus A319s. The aircraft are to be delivered

to the Group successively from 2012. This capital expenditure forms

part of the current fleet modernisation programme. The fleet roll-over

improves fuel efficiency and unit costs, as well as minimising noise

and emissions.

Ethiopian Airlines set for membership of Star AllianceOn 29 September Ethiopian Airlines was welcomed as a prospective

member of the Star Alliance. With Ethiopian Airlines in East and Cen-

tral Africa, Egyptair in the North and South African Airways in the

South, this will achieve comprehensive links between all the main

countries in Africa and the global network of Star Alliance and Luf-

thansa.

Lufthansa Cargo expands Japanese trafficIn view of ongoing strong demand from the manufacturing industry

and new opportunities in an evolving competitive landscape, Luf-

thansa Cargo is increasing the number of its weekly flights to Tokyo

and Osaka to a total of 12. This means daily flights with the MD 11

freighters from Frankfurt to Tokyo and five a week to Osaka.

Lufthansa Technik and NAS sign cooperation agreement

Lufthansa Technik AG and National Air Services (NAS) from Saudi

Arabia have extended the scope of their existing cooperation agree-

ment. Lufthansa Technik will take over engine and component servic-

ing for the entire NAS fleet. NAS Tech, the new MRO subsidiary of

NAS, is to build up capacities for maintenance and minor overhaulwork on narrow-bodied aircraft, in particular for the Airbus A320 fam-

ily. Lufthansa Technik is to support this process with engineers and

technical advisors. Following implementation, NAS Tech will also

offer this service portfolio to local customers.

lished on 28 October 2010 at 08:00 a.m. on the internet under
