Lufthansa plans to cut 10,000 more jobs in Germany

Germany’s flag carrier airline Lufthansa plans to cut around 10,000 full-time positions in Germany or lower personnel costs to a comparable extent, Lufthansa Chief Financial Officer Remco Steenbergen said while presenting the quarterly figures.

Report informs, citing Anadolu Agency, that Lufthansa had already cut around 24,000 full-time positions worldwide, which corresponds to around 25,700 employees. In Germany, the number of full-time positions dropped by 8,000 to 52,200, mostly as a result of fluctuations.

Outside of Germany, around 16,000 jobs were slashed in the same period.

Around 110,000 people are still currently being employed by Lufthansa worldwide.

Lufthansa has been hit hard by the coronavirus crisis, forcing it last year to seek a €9 billion bailout from the German government.
