Lufthansa Group: "Following a very weak start to the year and the impact of both the harsh winter and the pilots' strike, demand developments at the companies within the Passenger Airline Group improved noticeably in the first quarter. This more positive trend is reflected in rising sales figures. Another pleasing development is the recovery in the premium sector, which also prompted a year-on-year increase in average yields in intercontinental traffic…in the light of these factors, it is not possible at this stage to be more precise about the expected operating result, much less put a figure on it," Company statement.

Lufthansa Group: "Lufthansa Cargo is cautiously optimistic about the current financial year. Although forecasts remain difficult in the current climate, there are no signs of an end to resurgent demand as yet. As a result, a clear year-on-year increase in revenue is anticipated. However, Lufthansa Cargo does not expect to match the 2008 figures again just yet," Company statement. Source: Lufthansa Group, 05-May-2010.
