Medienbericht: Lufthansa prüft offenbar Teilverkauf von IT-Tochter
Die Lufthansa möchte sich Schritt für Schritt von ihren Randgeschäften trennen. Dazu könnte nun auch ein Teilverkauf ihrer IT-Firma Lufthansa Systems gehören.
Frankfurt - According to a media report, Lufthansa is reportedly considering selling parts of its software division, Lufthansa Systems. The Financial Times reported on Friday that the business could be worth nearly one billion euros, based on information from people familiar with the matter. The airline has already engaged bankers to assess the sale of the IT service provider for the aviation industry.
A Lufthansa spokesperson declined to comment on the matter. Lufthansa Systems provides IT solutions for airlines, employs around 3,100 people worldwide, and is headquartered in Raunheim near Frankfurt. The sale would be part of a strategy pursued by the group for several years to distance itself from peripheral businesses and focus on passenger and freight operations as well as maintenance.
In 2023, Lufthansa sold its catering business, and in 2024, it sold its credit card division, AirPlus, for 450 million euros. According to the Financial Times, the software offerings Lido and Netline are now up for discussion, along with services such as flight and mission planning. The revenue accounting division, Sirax, may also be part of the sale.
