Lufthansa enjoys solid 2Q but first half loss widens
Lufthansa posted strong second quarter result, reporting a EUR301 million net profit for the period, a 55% year-on-year increase. The EUR203 million operating profit in 2Q was enough to push the group into the black at the operating level for the first half, with Lufthansa posing a EUR3 million operating for the six-month period. Its net loss for the half, however, doubled to EUR206 million.
