In the direction of North America, Lufthansa would be "fully booked anyway" in the summer of 2022, says CEO Carsten Spohr, pointing out that even in First Class, which costs around 22.650 euros, pretty much everything would be sold out.
According to the German Press Agency, the manager also explained in Washington that there would generally be very strong booking numbers in the direction of the USA. He believes that "to be honest, it's already fully booked" in the current summer season.
A significant increase in demand has been noticeable since Easter 2022. From this point on, there was a clear change, so that the entire industry went from “too many staff” to “too few staff” in many areas. Spohr is of the opinion that all airlines, including the Lufthansa Group, airports and service providers have to recruit new employees in almost all areas.
It shouldn't be easy, because jobs in aviation are not particularly in demand at the moment given the history of Corona. Many airlines, including Lufthansa, and airports have also laid off many employees. Often too many, which now seems to be taking revenge.
