Oil prices rebound sharply on smaller-than-feared OPEC+ output hike
Investing.com -- Deutsche Lufthansa announced plans to cut approximately 4,000 jobs by 2030, primarily in Germany, as the airline group implements artificial intelligence and automation across its operations.
The German carrier said Monday it is reviewing activities that may become unnecessary in the future due to work duplication or increased AI adoption. The cuts will mainly affect administrative positions rather than operational roles.
Lufthansa, which currently employs around 102,000 people globally, expects these measures to generate an annual EBIT improvement of €300 million ($351.1 million). The company anticipates one-time restructuring costs of approximately €400 million to implement the plan.
The job reductions form part of Lufthansa’s broader strategy to integrate its airlines—Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and ITA Airways—more closely to enhance operational efficiency.
The airline group stated that the workforce reductions will be carried out through consultation with labor unions.
