AVIATION POLICY IN GERMANY AND EUROPE – 25 FACTS 

Dear readers,

Have you ever wondered how many “Schöggeli” (chocolates) SWISS hands out to its guests each year? Or why flying in Germany is more expensive than elsewhere? Or are you curious about global aviation trends?

In this special edition of our Policy Brief, you will find answers to these and many other questions. We have compiled interesting facts on global competition, aviation policy in Germany and Europe, and key figures for the Lufthansa Group in a compact and comprehensible format.

Because figures are never just figures. They reveal opportunities as well as wrong developments. Our overview highlights the areas where aviation is facing turbulence, and where political action is now needed to keep the industry on course.

And for those who read to the end, there’s a reward: a few facts that might surprise even seasoned aviation enthusiasts.

Enjoy your data flight through the Lufthansa Group and the world of aviation!
