Lufthansa Group achieved its highest-ever revenue of €39.6 billion in 2025, marking a 5% increase from the previous year. Adjusted operating profit (EBIT) climbed 25% to €2.0 billion, boosting the operating margin to 4.9%.
Consolidated net income held steady at €1.3 billion, tempered by valuation effects on loss carryforwards. Passenger airlines transported 135 million passengers, up 3% year-on-year, with a record seat load factor of 83.2%. Capacity grew 4%, while passenger revenue advanced 3% to €30.1 billion, yielding an adjusted EBIT of €1.1 billion.
Key drivers included enhanced operational reliability, slashing disruption costs by €362 million, and robust ancillary revenues, notably from the premium Lufthansa Allegris offering. Favorable factors encompassed €500 million in savings from reduced kerosene prices and a weaker US dollar.
Challenges persisted, including geopolitical tensions, Q3 demand softness on North Atlantic and European routes, and aircraft delivery delays. Currency-adjusted yields dipped 1.3%, offset by 15% ancillary revenue growth, stabilizing unit revenues.
ITA Airways added €90 million to earnings. Lufthansa Technik supported group performance with revenue topping €8 billion for the first time, up 12%, and adjusted EBIT of €603 million.
