Leading Lufthansa: Airline Weekly speaks with the outgoing CEO of (still) the world’s largest airline group

It is still, by total company revenues, the largest airline group in the world—even if now (following the American-US Airways merger) by “only” a billion dollars or so annually. And because a majority of the Lufthansa Group’s business comes from longhaul flying, in many ways it remains more globally influential than even the now-giant U.S. carriers who, despite their impressive heft and profits and ever-expanding global focus, remain more shorthaul-oriented than Lufthansa, whose CEO Christoph Franz spoke with Airline Weekly.
