  • COVID-19pandemic continues to affect aviation: Minus 64.4% in revenues, a net result before non-controllinginterests of minus € 25.0 million were registered in Q1/2021
  • Countermeasures were applied in due time: Investments have been postponed, a comprehensive savings program with a volume of about € 200 million, low net debt und good results achieved in previous years help in the current situation
  • Short-timework for all employees since one year, to guarantee workplaces, a prolongation of this is necessary for a longer period
