The Lufthansa Group has approved a reorganization plan to enable member airlines and service companies to align their structures and processes. The realignment also aims to raise the group’s overall efficiency, reduce complexity and increase decision-making speeds. The group expects the reorganization to eventually add €500 million ($65.3 million) a year to its earnings results.
According to Lufthansa, the new structure will reduce the current four management levels below the group executive board to three. Overall management positions will be reduced 15 %, the company said in a statement.
“We are making good progress in all seven fields of action of our ‘7 to 1: Our Way Forward’ program,” Lufthansa Group chairman and CEO Carsten Spohr said. “The new alignment of the Lufthansa Group that we have today resolved to adopt will strengthen our airlines and our service companies. And our customers will feel the tangible benefits of this, because a process-oriented organization will be focused even more closely than before on their specific needs. Our new group organization should make us more efficient and more responsive, too; and this in turn should sustainably strengthen the position of the Lufthansa Group in its various markets and business segments.”
According to Lufthansa, this further refinement of the group’s organizational structure will entail changes in the division of duties on the executive board.
From Jan. 1, 2016, the following changes will take effect for board members:
- Swiss International Air Lines CEO Harry Hohmeister will step down to lead the commercial management of the group’s hubs and premium airlines Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines and Austrian Airlines.
- Thomas Kluehr, currently Head of Hub Munich & Finance, has been appointed new Swiss CEO from Feb. 1, 2016.
- Lufthansa Passenger Airlines CEO Karl Ulrich Garnadt will head the Eurowings Group Executive board. He will also be responsible for the development of further airlines and service companies. According to Lufthansa, the Eurowings Group will be developed as independently as possible to ensure its strategic and operational flexibility in the particular markets it serves. A new Executive Board will be established from Nov. 1 onward to provide overall management of the Eurowings Group.
- CFO Simone Menne will continue to head group finances. He also assumes responsibility for the group’s IT in the new organization.
- Dr. Bettina Volkens continues to handle HR and legal affairs.
- Detlef Kayser, currently a partner at management consultants McKinsey, will be EVP-strategy & fleet. He will head up the “7 to 1: Our Way Forward” program.
- CCO Jens Bischof will take over Frankfurt hub management. Bischof will also bear global responsibility for the worldwide distribution of all three network carriers.
- Austrian Airlines CCO Andreas Otto will assume commercial responsibility for the Vienna Hub and take over responsibility for product management of Lufthansa’s hub carrier.
- Swiss CCO Markus Binkert will be in charge of the commercial steering in Zurich and the “Distribution and Revenue Management” process for all network airlines.
- Lufthansa Group-Asia-Pacific head of sales Steffen Harbarth will assume commercial responsibility and CCO for Lufthansa’s Munich hub, along with responsibility for the marketing of all three network airlines. He will also be responsible for further developing the Lufthansa brand.
