CFO sees positive outlook for North America routes despite Trump

2 weeks ago | boersen-zeitung.de | Lisa Schmelzer

Despite some recent entry issues for travellers to the US, Lufthansa has not yet seen any reluctance to book. „Our important transatlantic business still looks very good“, emphasises the new CFO, Till Streichert, in an interview with Börsen-Zeitung. Any downturn in this key market would be particularly painful for the airline group, as its business in the second major region, Asia, continues to struggle – at least in the passenger segment.

The figures vary, but are always huge: The need for pilots will massively increase in the next few years. Airbus assumes that the global aircraft fleet will double in the next 20 years, so according to this forecast, around 585,000 new pilots will need to be trained worldwide. Competitor Boeing even cites a figure of 674,000 new pilots.
Austrian Airlines performing well despite tough competition

Dec 4, 2024 | boersen-zeitung.de | Lisa Schmelzer

For many years Austrian Airlines was considered a problem child within the Lufthansa Group. However, the tide seems to be turning in Vienna: „We have managed to navigate our way out of the pandemic successfully over the last two years“, says Austrian Airlines CEO Annette Mann in an interview with Börsen-Zeitung. Demand remains stable, and Mann is optimistic about the current fourth quarter.
Shareholders still have to be patient

Mr Ebel, Tui's business is going well, but the share price is not getting back on its feet. Why is that? We were once at just over 5 euros, now we are almost at 8 euros, but the share price is, of course, still unsatisfactory. We can now see that the short sellers have significantly smaller positions – betting on falling share prices – and I believe that this has led to an improvement. However, in my opinion, the current share price still does not reflect the realistic value of Tui.

Nov 27, 2024 | boersen-zeitung.de | Lisa Schmelzer

The engineered joining and fluid handling technology specialist Norma Group cannot currently escape the pull of the automotive industry. Since the first signs of slowdowns in the key sector emerged, its stock price has been stagnating, hovering around 12 euros. It has become crucial to make it clear to investors and analysts that Norma, which is headquartered at Maintal near Frankfurt, is not just an automotive supplier.
Saarland moves down the list of priorities for CEO Lowe

Nov 7, 2024 | boersen-zeitung.de | Lisa Schmelzer

In February 2023, it seemed like the start of a promising partnership. ZF CEO Holger Klein and Wolfspeed CEO Gregg Lowe visited Saarland, to meet with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Minister of Economics Robert Habeck. Together they announced plans for a state-funding supported semiconductor factory, with the Americans investing 2.75 billion euros and ZF contributing 170 million euros. The German-American friendship has not survived the honeymoon.
Under constant stress

Sometimes all it takes is a dormouse. One such rodent recently paralysed the power supply to large parts of Frankfurt Airport for several hours. Fortunately, the rodents bit late in the evening, so air traffic was hardly affected, since there is a ban on night flights. However, it once again showed that an airport like this is susceptible to disruption. Indeed, external forces are increasingly at work.
Electricity mix gives Fraport leverage on emissions

Jul 23, 2024 | boersen-zeitung.de | Lisa Schmelzer

When it comes to climate protection, the aviation industry faces a lot of criticism – even though it only accounts for 3% of CO2 emissions worldwide. The situation is made more difficult by the fact that there is no quick, simple solution to improving environmental compatibility. New engines – battery or hydrogen-powered – will not be available in the short term.
Ohne Hankammers geht nichts bei Wehen Wiesbaden | Börsen-Zeitung

Mar 8, 2024 | eu1.hubs.ly | Lisa Schmelzer

Seinem Vater Hans haben die Medien einst den Spitznamen „Abramowitsch vom Dorf“ verpasst. Damit fremdelt Sohn Markus Hankammer zwar, den Fußballverein Wehen Wiesbaden unterstützt er aber, wie einst der Vater. Ohne die Familie, der der Weltmarktführer für Wasserfilter, die Brita GmbH aus Taunusstein, gehört, würde der Verein heute vermutlich nicht in der 2. Bundesliga spielen.
Hopefully new brooms do indeed sweep better

Feb 28, 2024 | boersen-zeitung.de | Lisa Schmelzer

Lufthansa is currently working on several major construction sites. On the one hand, there are the wage disputes that have paralysed the company for months. Secondly, there are problems with the aircraft manufacturers, who have sold high-maintenance aircraft or are delivering new aircraft too late – which jeopardises the airlines' growth targets. And then there is the issue of sustainability, where the industry has been committed to ambitious climate targets by politicians.
