Luftfahrt: Lufthansa erwartet zweistelligen Anstieg bei Flugpreisen 2027
Der anhaltend hohe Kerosinpreis dürfte die Branche – und damit die Kunden – auch im kommenden Jahr belasten. Auf die Nachfrage hat das aber wohl bisher keinen großen Einfluss.
Frankfurt - Lufthansa predicts a double-digit increase in flight prices in 2027 due to persistently high kerosene prices. The airline's CEO, Carsten Spohr, stated that ticket prices will rise into the double digits in the upcoming year. This rise was already evident in the fourth quarter of this year. Till Streichert, Lufthansa's finance chief, added that despite the price hikes, demand remains strong.
Consequently, the network airlines managed to pass on 85% of the fuel cost increase to customers, with Eurowings subsidiary absorbing it entirely. Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, previously estimated that the airline would need to raise prices by 20% to offset the cost increase, though this scale may not be feasible in the market. Premium customers are helping Lufthansa weather the storm.
