Lufthansa Groups Leisure Carrier Discover Airlines Pilots & Flight Attendants Will Strike

UFO accused Discover Airlines of forcing flight attendants to join another union that has offered worse working conditions.

The slots are being freed up as part of the EU’s merger approval.

The nine additional aircraft should join Discover Airlines by the end of 2027.

The sale follows Lufthansa Group’s offloading of LSG Sky Chefs, with the group continuing to streamline its business.

The group pointed out that its flagship airline, Lufthansa, had a particularly difficult six months in 2024.

The Lufthansa Group subsidiary joins over 50 airline partners with which Aeroplan members can earn and redeem points.

Lufthansa has been in the process of appealing the EU General Court’s decision to annul the EC’s state aid approval.

The group’s chief executive estimated the negative financial impact as both Airbus and Boeing have struggled to deliver aircraft on time.

The airline and its pilots’ union, Vereinigung Cockpit (VC), have provided different perspectives on the situation.

Fehlinger has been the head of the group’s newest airline, Lufthansa City Airlines.
