LH - overskudd mer enn halvert

[Discus]

Lufthansa’s operating profit in 2008 at 1.35 billion euros

The Lufthansa Group increased its offer and sales during the past business year. The Group was able to almost reproduce its previous year’s result by posting operating profit of around 1.35 billion euros. The Group profit was posted at 599 million euros; Last year’s figure had been 1.66 billion euros, however, it had also included 585 million euros of profit from extraordinary items. “This represents an outstanding result and its quality is underlined by the fact that it has been achieved during a time of global economic crisis. It reflects the quality of our company. A company in which a strong team, strong products and a strong balance were decisive in ensuring success. We intend to maintain our lead in the far more challenging environment of 2009. Our financial and operational flexibility will allow us to benefit from the opportunities that come our way during the crisis”, commented Lufthansa Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Mayrhuber, speaking at the presentation of the annual result for 2008.

Halvering og mer enn det av overskuddet, men allikevel store summer i overskudd det er snakk om for kjempen i Tyskland.

Det går an - selv som fullserviceselskap. Look and learn, you people in the 'monkey cage' ...

Veldig bra gjort av Lufthansa. Selskapet fremstår som særdeles veldrevet når de klarer å gjøre det bra over lang tid, og også presterer overskudd i disse finanskrise-tider. Sehr gut Lufthansa!

Noen formeninger om hvorfor LH gjør det (relativt) bra, mens SAS sliter? Større interkont-nettverk? På den annen side, på innenriks har SAS mindre konkurranse fra fx tog. Eller er det rett og slett bedre organisering av operasjoner og administrasjon?

Det kan jo ikke ha noe med service å gjøre, for den har jo SAS introdusert igjen
