Recovery Continues: Lufthansa Is Hiring 20,000 New Employees

To support its post-pandemic recovery, the German flag carrier is embarking on a huge recruitment drive.

With 2023 shaping up to be even busier than this year, airlines around the world are feeling the pressure to ensure that they have adequate numbers of staff to cope with the rebound in travel, and Lufthansa is no exception. The German flag carrier has just launched its latest recruitment campaign and is on the lookout for 20,000 new employees.

The airline’s Germany-wide recruitment campaign kicked off on November 21st, reaching out to potential employees through print, radio, and social media channels. The increased workforce should help the airline to avoid the chaos seen this year across North America and Europe caused in part by staff shortages.

Prior to the pandemic, the Star Alliance member had 138,000 employees. The most recent figures from October this year show 109,000 employees working at the airline. If the airline is successful in recruiting 20,000 more employees, its workforce will have almost reached its pre-pandemic peak once again.

Lufthansa’s chief human resources officer, Michael Niggemann, outlined the need for the recruitment campaign, saying,

“We are clearly showing that the Lufthansa Group is looking to the future with great ambition. In order to be at the top of the industry, we need committed and motivated employees for a wide range of tasks and challenges. The companies in the Lufthansa Group offer prospects for the future with exciting job offers. Connecting people, cultures and economies in a sustainable way is what drives us. We need reinforcements for that. We still have a lot to do!”
