Lufthansa is soaring to new heights. With an annual total of 51.3 million passengers, 653,980 operated flights and a passenger load factor of 75.0 percent, the Lufthansa Group achieved three new records in 2005.
Targeted capacity expansion and successful sales management delivered growth and boosted passenger load factor in all traffic regions.
From January to December 2005, 51.3 million passengers, or 0.7 percent more than in the previous year, chose to fly Lufthansa. Capacity was increased by a moderate 2.5 percent.
However, as sales rose by 4.0 percent, the passenger load factor edged up one percentage point to an impressive 75.0 percent.
