Lufthansa Group: "Altogether, the Passenger Airline Group segment is expected to increase revenue in 2012 and to generate an operating profit. The amount will depend largely on the conditions described above, in particular the development of oil prices, so that a more precise statement is not possible at the present time. From today's perspective and subject to the same limitations on forecasting accuracy, further positive developments in revenue and the renewed achievement of an operating profit are expected for 2013," Company statement.
