The Lufthansa Group generated revenue of EUR 20.2bn (+24.9 per cent) in the
first nine months of 2010 and improved its operating result by EUR 386m to
EUR 612m compared with the same period last year. Net profit for the period
was EUR 524m (previous year: EUR 31m).

The nine-month earnings reflect both the measures undertaken in the Group
to reduce costs and the gratifying pace of demand in the third quarter,
particularly in the freight and intercontinental passenger businesses.

In view of the course of business to date and current stable demand, the
Executive Board has revised its expectations for the earnings development
upwards and now anticipates that the operating result for the full year
will exceed the EUR 800m mark.

Further details and the complete interim report will be published by
Lufthansa on 28 October 2010. The information will be available on the
internet from 8.00 a.m. CET at www.lufthansa.com/investor-relations.
