Last year, Lufthansa hired about13,000 people. Its current team strength is over 95,000 across at least 90 nations.
Lufthansa is targeting hiring over 3,500 for cabin roles and about 1,000 for the cockpit. It is also on the lookout for at least 2,000 technicians, to ensure its fleet of aircraft is well maintained and operates smoothly. Given the rapid rate at which digitalisation is happening,Lufthansa also requires about 900 skilled information technology professionals.
The airline will also be hiring ground staff at Frankfurt and Munich.

The Group posted the second-best quarterly result in history in the third quarter of 2023, with pre-tax earnings of more than €1.5 billion ($1.6 billion). The Group’s airlines served more than 38 million passengers in that quarter. A new airline is also being launched by Lufthansa, called City Airlines. This subsidiary has already started hiring.
