Lufthansa Technik saw a significant increase of 13.1 per cent in turnover to four
billion euros (+13.1 percent) in the first half of 2025.

At EUR 310 million adjusted EBIT, earnings increased by 1.7% and, like sales, reached a new record level for the first six months of a year. But because costs rose faster than turnover in the same period, the margin fell to 7.8% (-0.9 percentage points compared to the same time last year).

"We are facing a tougher environment and new challenges," said Dr. Christian Leifeld, CFO of Lufthansa Technik. "The US tariff policy is burdening the company, and material and supplier costs are also rising as a result of this policy. We are now waiting for the details of the agreement between the EU and the US, but we must be prepared to compensate for a structural burden. Nevertheless, we are holding firm to our growth and investment targets."

The company is increasing its investments in existing and new locations and in personnel, as planned. A new engine center is being built at Calgary Airport to meet the demand
for engine maintenance capacity from North American airlines. A groundbreaking ceremony was held for Lufthansa Technik Canada. The location is scheduled to go into operation in 2027 and create at least 160 jobs.

A further 700 jobs will be created in Santa Maria da Feira near Porto. Lufthansa Technik Portugal will be repairing aircraft components and engine parts by the end of 2027. A training center for new employees has been in operation since June.

The company plans to spend several hundred million euros in modernizing the location at the company headquarters in Hamburg over the next few years. The cornerstone has just been laid for a new workshop building, where work on the interiors of VIP aircraft will also begin in 2027.

As of the end of June, 22,352 people were working for Lufthansa Technik worldwide, an increase of more than 1,100 employees within a year. In addition, more than 260 new employees in Germany alone will start their initial training in the coming weeks.
