Germany’s flag carrier Lufthansa confirmed it will shed 4,000 administrative positions by 2030 as part of a broad efficiency drive. The airline said it will achieve this aim by eliminating duplicate work while automating tasks across its subsidiaries. Much of this will be enabled through increased use of artificial intelligence and digitalization.

The Lufthansa Group, which includes SWISS, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings, said operational staff such as flight crews will not be affected. Instead, the focus will remain on administrative functions, with the aim of tightening central control and boosting profitability. The company also announced plans to expand its maintenance and logistics businesses into the defense sector while strengthening Eurowings’ role within the group.
