Better compatibility of family and career.

Good news for Lufthansa Airlines cabin crew - and therefore also for passengers: Lufthansa and the UFO union have agreed on a new part-time collective agreement. The relevant committees on both sides have already given their approval. The collective agreement will come into force retroactively from January 1, 2025.

The new collective agreement unites the interests of cabin staff and Lufthansa Airlines: further developed rules lead to more reliable planning for employees and improve the work-life balance. Conversely, Lufthansa Airlines benefits from the associated long-term and needs-based personnel planning for part-time work. The new collective agreement also helps to simplify internal regulations.

Michael Niggemann, Member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG responsible for Human Resources & Legal: “We are pleased that we were able to agree on this new part-time collective agreement after an intensive negotiation process with the UFO trade union. Once again, this shows that focus and an interest-oriented approach lead to good solutions. As a result, the new collective agreement increases flexibility for our cabin staff at Lufthansa Airlines, but also helps us to respond even better to the seasonal market demand of our customers.
