Lufthansa Technik: Strict Cost Management Remains Crucial Factor for Success

With regard to the future development of the Lufthansa Technik Group, Jansen remarked that persistent price pressure compelled airlines to cut costs further and to increase productivity, whereby the effect of these measures is passed on fully to their suppliers, including MRO companies. Attention is therefore being directed at further cost reduction issues in the area of purchasing, as well as at projects to increase productivity. An entire range of lean management projects follow the objective of creating an ideal balance between successful cost management and high quality standards. According to Jansen, continued cost reduction measures and further increases in efficiency are essential.
