Lufthansa criticises lack of modernisation at Munich Airport
Foreign
GERMAN airline Lufthansa has complained about a lack of innovation at the Munich Airport, the second-largest hub for the flagship carrier.
Lufthansa Airline’s chief operating officer, Karl Brandes, said on Tuesday evening that management at Munich Airport has not made the same kind of progress in recruiting personnel.
He said recruiting personnel and modernising processes as Frankfurt Airport operator Fraport.
Brandes acknowledged the current difficulty in hiring new staff, saying Lufthansa itself faces similar challenges, but that the airline has tried to support partners at hub airports in their search for workers.
In addition, however, the processes involved in aircraft handling must also be modernised, Brandes said.
To counteract the shortage of labour, digitalisation, automation, and artificial intelligence must be driven forward.
“The whole topic of innovation must be brought forward significantly.
“Handling today is like it was 30 years ago,’’ he said.
Munich Airport had planned to switch handling service providers in the spring.
It said that for years, Lufthansa managers have criticised its major Frankfurt base for a lack of punctuality and efficiency.
However, the company believed that progress was made in Frankfurt, which is Germany’s largest airport and among the busiest in Europe. (dpa/NAN)
