For the workforce of the AUA parent, things are now sticking out: According to a newspaper report, Lufthansa will have 29.000 employees outside the door by the end of the year in the wake of the Corona crisis.

Then around 109.000 people will remain in the company. The lion's share of the letters of resignation - more than 20.000 to be precise - would go to foreign workers, as reported by the Tagesschau. But that's not supposed to be it. Because next year, another 10.000 jobs are to be cut across Germany.

This news shouldn't have surprised most of them. Because recently Carsten Spohr indicated that in view of the pandemic, 27.000 full-time positions were superfluous. Accordingly, the crane airline will shrink in the long term and emerge smaller from the corona crisis. According to the report, three billion of the nine billion euros in government aid have been used up.

    Lufthansa should look to China or Russia as soon as there is a reasonably corona-free Europe, trips will skyrocket, perhaps even above the level of 2019, then there will be a lack of staff everywhere.
