Aviation: Too few premium seats - Lufthansa is checking cabin conversion
Expensive seats are important for profitability. Europe's largest airline group could sell more of them than are available. Management is considering expanding the premium offering.
Lufthansa's new cabin interior, Allegris, has finally been introduced after a four-year delay, with passengers able to experience it starting in May 2024. The airline's management reports positive feedback from passengers, with the First Class and Business Class designs winning the Red Dot Award. However, the success of Allegris has created a problem: Lufthansa is struggling to meet demand for premium seats, and the airline is considering installing more premium seats on its flights.
The company's CEO, Carsten Spohr, has stated that premium seats are crucial to Lufthansa's business, generating up to 50% of ticket revenue despite making up only 10-15% of seat capacity.
