Analysis
The carrier continued increasing the offer more sharply than demand moved up. Consequently, the groups seat load factor (SLF) fell by 2.4pp to 81.0% in June and by 2.1pp to 75.7% in H1. The freight load factor (FLF) fell by 3.9pp to 68.6% in the past month and by 3.3pp to 69.1% in H1. The SLF continued to fall quite sharply on Asian/Pacific destinations. The number of passengers flying to/from these destinations is still rising strongly, but Lufthansa is continuing to increase the offer disproportionately (+14.5% in June and +13.1% in H1).
