Deutsche Lufthansa CFO: The new Eurowings is off to a successful start

Deutsche Lufthansa AG CFO Simone Menne stated (03-May-2016) the new Eurowings is "off to a successful start". Ms Menne said, "The seat load factor of its new long-haul services stood at a very encouraging 94.2% in the first three months. The customer feedback has been very positive, too. Its first-quarter result is a decline on last year's; but this partly reflects the company's start-up costs, and we feel that the new Eurowings is well on track". [more - original PR]
