Lufthansa to hire 8,000 workers in 2018
Lufthansa said Monday it planned to hire about 8,000 people in 2018, with more than half of the new employees being flight attendants. Some 2,500 of the new hires would go to Lufthansa proper, while 2,700 would be taking up jobs at Eurowings, the airline said. Taking into account workers leaving the company, a Lufthansa spokesman said that the net effect of the hiring effort would be "several thousand" new jobs — an increase on the roughly 3,000 who started work last year. Eurowings is key to the group's expansion plan, as CE Carsten Spohr aims to challenge budget airline competitors like Ryanair and EasyJet. EasyJet last week launched Germany flights for the first time, after it purchased 25 Air Berlin planes stationed at Berlin's Tegel Airport, along with the take-off and landing rights in mid-December. <br/>
