Lufthansa is on a recruitment drive, aiming to add over 10 000 employees this year.
The recruitment of so many employees signals confidence and expectations for strong growth for the year ahead.
In October 2024, Lufthansa Group reported $11 billion in revenue – its strongest revenue quarter in company history.
The carrier will continue to implement its turnaround program with the aim of increasing efficiency and improving product quality in 2025.
LUFTHANSA STAFF COUNT
The Lufthansa Group currently employs over 100 000 people in over 90 countries.
The group is set to recruit around 10 000 new employees across various professions this year.
“The Lufthansa Group is and remains an attractive employer with many different job profiles and career options,” said Michael Niggemann, chief human resources officer at Deutsche Lufthansa AG.
The airline group has indeed recruited more than 30 000 new workers over the past three years.
“Last year alone, we received 350,000 applications across the Group and recruited over 13,000 employees. We look forward to welcoming every new colleague.” He said.

Lufthansa expects to hire fewer employees in 2025 than in 2024 and plans to recruit around 1 200 people with a focus on operations by the end of the year.
