Lufthansa Group has revealed its “matrix next level” reorganisation plan. A hub steering board, led by CCO Dieter Vranckx, will coordinate European and long-haul flight schedules across hubs in Brussels, Frankfurt, Munich, Rome, Vienna, and Zurich.
IT functions are now under Chief Technology Officer Grazia Vittadini, with four group function boards managing hub steering, technology, human resources, and finance. Individual airlines retain control over operations and customer experience, such as inflight products and lounges, while increasing integration in non-customer-facing areas.
Lufthansa Airlines, facing a €350m operating loss in the first half of 2025, launched a turnaround programme targeting an 8pc margin by 2026, amid pilot strike threats over pensions.
Lufthansa Group shared in a written statement: “In areas that are less visible to passengers, cooperation between airlines within the group will become even more integrated and connected. The organisational changes are planned to be rolled out at the beginning of 2026.”
