Lufthansa’s Spohr watching for ‘market opportunities’ from potential EasyJet deal

Lufthansa Group CEO Carsten Spohr is monitoring market possibilities arising from a potential shift in ownership at EasyJet, the UK low-cost carrier. This interest follows Lufthansa's acquisition of ITA Airways and its ongoing pursuit of a stake in TAP Air Portugal. The group intends to capitalize on any changes resulting from an altered ownership structure within EasyJet. Spohr’s strategy reflects Lufthansa’s broader approach to identifying strategic acquisitions and bolstering its European operations. Currently, the Lufthansa Group is focused on expanding its portfolio through targeted investments across key airlines.
