Lufthansa Group announced Monday that it will eliminate 4,000 jobs by 2030 as part of a restructuring plan driven by artificial intelligence, digitalization, and greater integration across its member airlines.

The company said most of the cuts would take place in Germany, primarily in administrative roles rather than operational functions.

Lufthansa noted that it is assessing “which activities will no longer be necessary in the future, for instance due to duplication of work,” as it seeks closer cooperation among its carriers, which include Austrian Airlines, Swiss, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings.

The group said the “profound changes brought about by digitalization and artificial intelligence” will help improve efficiency across its business operations.

The announcement came during an investor presentation in Munich, where the company highlighted strong passenger demand despite supply chain constraints affecting new aircraft and engine availability. Lufthansa said the tight market was supporting high load factors and revenue growth.

Looking ahead, the airline group projected “significantly increased profitability” by the end of the decade and confirmed plans for the largest fleet modernization in its history. More than 230 new aircraft, including 100 long-haul planes, are set to join the fleet by 2030.

In 2024, Lufthansa employed 101,709 people and reported revenue of 37.6 billion euros ($44 billion). The aviation group, headquartered in Cologne with operational offices in Frankfurt, runs both network airlines and point-to-point carrier Eurowings alongside other aviation services.
