16.44 clock. The Lufthansa and its Pilots converging. It’s about the working conditions at the Group’s own boarding Euro Wings. The Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr has currently very much. At Lufthansa the hope of being able to settle the ongoing conflict with the pilots is growing. He valued the offer presented a few days ago with concrete proposals the union Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) very positive, CEO Carsten Spohr said on Tuesday evening in the International Club of Frankfurt Business Journalists.

A quick agreement until September 1, he considered due to the complexity and variety of subjects, however, is unrealistic. “I am delighted that we are talking again,” said Spohr.



flagging of Jets to foreign companies

The union had offered to twelve strike rounds in July to accept lower salary rates for pilots of the planned cost platform Euro Wings within the Lufthansa collective agreement. Lufthansa had it but to give up the proposed flagging of Jets to foreign companies. The Lufthansa pilots should go according to the VC deal two years later than previously into early retirement.

Spohr reiterated that Euro Wings could play a role in the acquisition or closer cooperation with smaller European airlines. Lufthansa wants as currently the largest aviation group in Europe play an active role in the upcoming consolidation of the sector on the home continent, said the CEO – but without concrete candidates mentioned.

The Lufthansa CEO expects an attack of low cost airlines to the Lufthansa hubs in Munich and Frankfurt, which are as yet hardly fly for cost and competitive reasons of “low-cost carriers.” Then you have at hand with Euro Wings the right answer in-house, said Spohr.



No growth in the freight subsidiary

Meanwhile, reported the “Börsen-Zeitung” of considerations in the freight subsidiary Lufthansa Cargo to deliver aircraft to a cheaper platform for the Euro Wings model. One possible candidate is the jointly operated with Deutsche Post DHL AeroLogic, which do not fall under the group collective agreement pilots of Lufthansa thereby. There were no concrete plans to, however, said a spokesman for Lufthansa Cargo.

At the moment, the freight subsidiary has already distribute no growth since the second quarter of 2015, the company has flown into the red. There are problems in the two major overseas markets of the US and China, as Cargo CEO Peter Gerber the “Börsen-Zeitung” said. The Company has therefore deferred the decision on other new aircraft for the coming year. Lufthansa Cargo has by its own account options on five freighters Boeing 777.
