Lufthansa mulls more acquisitions. Lufthansa is looking for more airlines to become bigger, said Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Mayrhuber. "We have to be able to make more acquisitions long term. Swiss, Eurowings and Air Dolomiti were just the beginning." European airlines, in his view, need to be a certain size in order to survive. He hinted that when a Lufthansa partner can no longer compete, the company stands ready." Source: Aviation Daily
but this is only half of the truth.
LH CEO also said, that i wont pay big money for a airline and that the airline (with ever) must be profitable.
Before LH overtakes BD, LH will overtake others...short haul routes of BD doesnt make sense for LH and the new Long Haul Routes either.
Only thing with would be interesting are the Slots at LHR and MAN, but after open skies, a price war will begin and LH also knows that.
Sorry, but BD seems to be totally uninteresting...
