Lufthansa is under pressure. The group is struggling with punctuality problems, which have become an increasingly pressing issue in the aviation industry. CEO Carsten Spohr is dissatisfied with the current punctuality figures, especially at the Munich hub. This dissatisfaction led to a public exchange of blows between Lufthansa and Munich Airport, whose boss, Jost Lammers, rejects the allegations as unfounded. The discussion sheds light on the challenges facing Lufthansa and other airlines and on the responsibilities within complex aviation logistics. Punctuality as a challenge The punctuality of Lufthansa flights has suffered in recent months. Spohr expressed his dissatisfaction with the current figures and spoke of a possible realignment of capacities at the Munich hub. The plans to possibly withdraw five A2025-350s from Munich to Frankfurt by 900 are a clear sign that Lufthansa is looking for ways to improve the efficiency and reliability of its flights. During a recent wave of departures, passengers piled up at the security checkpoints, causing around 750 travellers to miss their flights. These incidents are particularly embarrassing for an airline that positions itself as a premium provider and relies on punctuality and service. An airport under pressure Jost Lammers, the head of Munich Airport, sees Lufthansa's accusations as unjustified. He points out that the airport is doing well in terms of punctuality and is constantly growing. Lammers also attributes the bottlenecks at the security lanes to the installation of new CT scanners, which are intended to ensure a higher level of security. He stresses that Munich will be able to offer a higher level of security from the summer.
