Although business has boomed in recent weeks and months, the crisis is not without consequences for Lufthansa Cargo as well: The cargo airline based in Frankfurt is planning job cuts, around one in ten jobs is at risk. It appears that fewer staff will be needed in the future than was previously the case. 

“We assume that around 2023 jobs will have to be cut worldwide by 500, in particular due to the changed range of belly freight routes in the wake of the corona pandemic,” a spokesman confirmed to the portal “The Loadstar”. At that time, cargo planes were more in demand than ever. According to insiders, Lufthansa Cargo alone should make a three-digit million profit this year, like aero.de reported.
