Lufthansa opens its doors wide to newcomers. Europe’s leading airline group is recruiting “20,000 new employees” in “45 professions”, without detailing how long it would take. They will be pilots or flight attendants and flight attendants, but also ground crew in technical professions (maintenance engineers, etc.) or headquarters functions (computer specialists, lawyers, etc.). If the German carrier is going to hire with a vengeance, it’s because activity has been very strong since the spring.
In the second quarter, Lufthansa posted a net profit for the first time in more than two years. With a strong recovery in air traffic, the group even estimated in early November. “Leaving the plague (behind it)”. And it has raised its profitability outlook, now counting on an operating profit of more than a billion euros this year.
Lufthansa, which operates German (Lufthansa, Eurowings) as well as Swiss (Swiss), Austrian (Austrian Airlines) and Belgian (Brussels Airlines) companies, will be deployed in all these countries. It will not be easy. With all companies looking for new talent, there is a shortage of air transport professionals. Especially since many specialists left the field during the health crisis. To make these additions, the group will launch a communication campaign “In the press, on the radio, online and on all social networks.” The jobs to be filled are partly job creation and partly replacements for employees who have left the group. Lufthansa cut 30,000 jobs during the pandemic. The carrier had 108,000 employees at the end of September, up from 138,000 in 2019. By the end of 2023, it is expected to increase to 115,000 workers.
