    Ruxandra Haradau-Doser's questions to Deutsche Lufthansa AG (DLAKY) leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Ruxandra Haradau-Doser of HSBC sought clarification on a German court ruling concerning feeder flights for Condor, asking if Lufthansa must revert to historical contract terms or can maintain the recently changed, less favorable conditions.

    Answer

    CEO Carsten Spohr clarified that the court ruling only obliges Lufthansa to continue its current Special Prorate Agreement (SPA) with Condor until a final decision in Q1 2025. He emphasized that these current conditions already involve higher prices and lower availability than the historical terms, so there is no requirement to revert to the old contracts or issue refunds.
