Lufthansa is hopeful for U.S. support in overcoming delivery delays, with CEO Carsten Spohr expecting to start receiving long-awaited aircraft in 2025. Despite a 39% drop in EBIT, shares rose 13%. The airline has 41 aircraft waiting in the U.S. and anticipates delays in over 240 orders. Airbus is also facing supply chain challenges.

Lufthansa Group aims for higher profits in 2025 amid recovering demand. Spohr notes strong growth in leisure demand, especially on transatlantic routes. Despite potential U.S. tariffs and strained relations, he sees booking strength on both sides. Increased German fiscal spending could benefit the airline, with reforms viewed as a potential economic game-changer.
