Lufthansa strikes upbeat tone, while monitoring tariff fallout
BERLIN (Reuters) -German airline Lufthansa stuck to its 2025 financial guidance on Tuesday and said it was optimistic about the key summer season, striking a more upbeat tone than some rivals while cautioning it was monitoring the impact of trade tensions. European airlines are entering the first-quarter earnings season with investors fretting about demand as U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff policies hit U.S. air travel and cloud global growth prospects. "Despite all the geopolitical uncertainties, we ... remain on course for growth, are optimistic about the summer, and are sticking to our positive outlook for 2025," Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said in a statement.
