Visiting the crash site I was, in a shocking moment, made aware of a fact that all of us know so well - safety in aviation is not a given, it's something which we have to work hard for this every day and every night. It's my promise and the promise of the 120,000 people working at Lufthansa around the world that this priority will continue to be our top target.

The situation in the cabins, which threatens to lead to another labor dispute this week is fair neither to our colleagues nor to our customers, a solution can only lie in dialogue.

Inbound and outbound, I'm looking at probably the best environment I have seen in years.

To be honest I see protectionism around the world rising rather than more liberalization.

We all met there, there were plenty of talks. We all look at each other and believe there are too many limitations. All you can do right now is a financial minority investment.

In our industry there's so many limitations and regulations on what you can do outside your legal spectrum. That's the EU for us, and we don't see much progress.

The summer bookings are not disappointing at all, i think we are looking to a good year as industry and that includes the Lufthansa Group.

I think there's a high interest for Lufthansa Technik and catering services, but also for additional destinations and capacity on the cargo and passenger side.

(Their offer) has meant that we are in talks, and only via talks can we solve this conflict.

It's very positive that VC has come to us for the first time in years of negotiations with a proposal that includes cost cuts.

I have worked at Lufthansa as an engineer, I have worked as a pilot at Lufthansa, I have carried responsibility as a manager at Lufthansa for many, many years, always, wherever I was, whoever my boss was, the rule was always safety is No. 1. And that this has happened to us I can only say we are sorry.

We have no indication what could have led the co-pilot to commit this terrible act.

Carsten Spohr

opinion

The pilot has passed all his tests, all his medical exams. We have at Lufthansa the reporting system where crew can report,,without being punished, their own problems, or they can report about problems of others without any kind of punishment, that hasn't been used either in this case. All the safety nets we are so proud of have not worked in this case.

He passed all the subsequent tests and checks with flying colors, his flying abilities were flawless.

We at Lufthansa are speechless that this aircraft has been deliberately crashed by the co-pilot.

We can only speculate what might have been the motivation of the co-pilot. In a company that prides itself on its safety record, this is a shock. We select cockpit personnel carefully.

A distress call must be activated in the cockpit and only licensed pilots can do that.

It is inexplicable this could happen to a plane free of technical problems and with an experienced, Lufthansa-trained pilot.

We are in talks but no decision has been made yet.

If it comes about, Lufthansa needs to be part of that and Eurowings is our tool for this.

The white paper is very much in line with what we and Air France have said over the last years. Unfortunately we don't have the same intelligence services.
