Company DescriptionDeutsche Lufthansa AG is an airlines and aviation services company. It is split into three segments: network airlines, which includes Lufthansa German Airlines, SWISS and Austrian Airlines; Eurowings, which includes Eurowings and Brussels Airlines for price-sensitive customers; and aviation services, which engages in commercial aircraft maintenance, catering, and air freight logistics. The network airlines segment brings in over half the company's revenue. Flights in Europe and North America bring in the majority of income, but the company reaches worldwide.
How the Company Makes MoneyLufthansa primarily generates revenue through its passenger airline segment, which includes ticket sales for domestic and international flights. The company also earns income from ancillary services such as checked baggage fees, seat selection charges, and onboard sales. In addition to passenger transport, Lufthansa's logistics segment contributes to its revenue through the Lufthansa Cargo division, which handles air freight and logistics services worldwide. Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services, offered by Lufthansa Technik, provide additional income by servicing and maintaining aircraft for other airlines. The catering segment, operated through LSG Sky Chefs, generates revenue by supplying in-flight catering services to a variety of airlines. Strategic partnerships and code-sharing agreements with other airlines further enhance Lufthansa's revenue streams by expanding its network reach and optimizing flight operations.
