Send us Fan Mail⚠️✈️ Streik bei Lufthansa – was jetzt passiertDie Pilotinnen und Piloten mehrerer Airlines der Lufthansa Group haben zum Streik aufgerufen. Hunderte Flüge fallen aus – und der Konflikt spitzt sich zu.Laut Lufthansa-Personalvorstand Michael Niggemann könnten die Arbeitsniederlegungen nicht nur den Flugbetrieb, sondern auch die Zukunft der Regionaltochter Lufthansa CityLine massiv beschleunigen – bis hin zum vollständigen Aus.Im Fokus stehen Tarifkonflikte, Altersversorgung und die Frage, ob CityLine unter den aktuellen Bedingungen überhaupt noch eine Zukunft hat.

Gleichzeitig denkt ITA darüber nach, einige Airbus A321neo stillzulegen, weil bestimmte Märkte aktuell nicht mehr funktionieren. Das zeigt, wohin die Strategie wirklich geht: Weg von schwierigen Märkten, hin zu mehr Langstrecke und stärkerer Integration in die Lufthansa Group.

Data Governance entsteht nicht durch Regeln allein – sondern durch Pflege, Verantwortung und gemeinsames Verständnis. In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Kiomi Soledad Spriestersbach über den Aufbau wirksamer Data Governance bei der Lufthansa Group – und warum sich dieser Prozess erstaunlich gut mit Backkunst und Gartenarbeit vergleichen lässt. Aus einer zentralen Perspektive heraus werden viele dezentrale Organisationseinheiten verbunden. Dabei hat sich vor allem eines verändert: das Verständnis von Datenprodukten. Datenqualität, Metadaten und klare Rollen sind heute entscheidend, um Daten nutzbar, vertrauenswürdig und sicher bereitzustellen – insbesondere bei großen Mengen personen- und technikbezogener Daten. Die zentrale Botschaft: Daten sind kein reines IT-Thema. Gute Data Governance entsteht dort, wo Fachlichkeit und Technik gemeinsam Verantwortung übernehmen. Ziel ist nicht Perfektion, sondern angemessene Qualität im jeweiligen Kontext. Unterschiedliche Anwendungsfälle brauchen unterschiedliche Standards – insbesondere mit Blick auf KI als Treiber für hochwertige Daten. Eine Episode über Rahmen statt Regeln, über Teilen statt Verstecken – und darüber, warum man Daten genauso bewusst pflegen (und auch entsorgen) sollte wie in einem Garten.

Die Marken- und Marketingnews der KW 50 mit folgenden Themen: McDonald's sorgt für Aufmerksamkeit: Der Konzern zog einen KI-generierten Weihnachtsspot nach heftigen Konsumentenkritiken zurück, obwohl der Spot technisch überraschend ausgereift war und keine typischen KI-Fehler zeigte. Zudem führte die Lufthansa Group eine neue Dachmarkenidentität ein, bei der alle Airlines sichtbarer unter einer gemeinsamen Markenarchitektur auftreten sollen – ein strategisch nachvollziehbarer Schritt, der jedoch hohe Anforderungen an einheitliche Markenversprechen stellt. Auf dem internationalen Medienmarkt entbrannte gleichzeitig ein intensiver Bieterwettstreit, da Paramount das bisherige Höchstgebot von Netflix für Warner Bros. deutlich überbot und damit das Rennen erneut spannend machte. Abgerundet wurde die Woche durch die Veröffentlichung der Meaningful Brands Studie, die zeigt, dass Marken den Menschen zunehmend egal werden: 78 Prozent der Befragten könnten problemlos auf den Großteil aller Marken verzichten, was auf eine wachsende Apathie und höhere Wechselbereitschaft hindeutet. ✨

In this episode, we speak with Nina Marczell, Senior Vice President of Industrial Sales & Marketing for Fuels & Feedstock at OMV, who shares how the integrated energy company is leading sustainable aviation fuel development from early production to commercial scale across Europe.Marczell discusses:OMV's early-mover advantage, launching SAF production at their Austrian refinery in 2022 – well ahead of EU mandates – starting with 2,000 tonnes through co-processing and scaling to 4,000 tonnes.Europe's first major standalone SAF facility in Romania, featuring 250,000 tonnes annual capacity for SAF and renewable diesel, uniquely integrated with green hydrogen plants that serve both as feedstock and to decarbonise OMV's own refinery operations.Strategic partnerships including groundbreaking collaboration with Airbus on feedstock acceleration, book-and-claim system development, and joint European market advocacy, plus an innovative SAF certificate programme with Microsoft.Why SAF should be considered a premium product with distinct environmental attributes rather than pursuing cost parity with conventional jet fuel.Critical challenges with EU RefuelEU mandate implementation, particularly the steep jumps from 2% to 6% to 20% SAF requirements.OMV's ambitious target to produce up to 1.5 million tonnes of renewable fuels annually by 2030.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Etosha Cave, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Twelve.

Airbnb is revamping its experiences offerings by focusing on mainstream attractions and professional tour guides, signaling a shift from its original emphasis on niche activities.

Ab sofort wird auf den Webseiten, digitalen Bordkarten, Flughäfen und sogar den Lounges stärker sichtbar, welche Airlines zur Gruppe gehören. Brussels Airlines, Swiss, Austrian und Air Dolomiti werden mit dem Zusatz “Member of Lufthansa Group” gekennzeichnet – auch auf ihren Flugzeugen. Ziel ist es, Kunden weltweit eine klarere Identität der Gruppe zu vermitteln. Was haltet ihr von dieser Maßnahme? Bringt das mehr Übersicht oder bleibt ihr Fans eigenständiger Marken? ✈️

Send us a textLufthansa-Chef Carsten Spohr sieht großes Wachstumspotenzial für ITA Airways, die mit 99 Flugzeugen noch zu klein für den italienischen Markt sei.

Send us a textLufthansa-Group-Chef Carsten Spohr sieht großes Potenzial für weitere Airline-Übernahmen in Europa. Nach dem Einstieg bei ITA Airways und der strategischen Beteiligung an Air Baltic steht Lufthansa nun in Verhandlungen über eine Minderheitsbeteiligung an Air Europa und zeigt Interesse an der bevorstehenden Privatisierung von TAP Air Portugal. Die europäische Airline-Landschaft sei laut Spohr zu zersplittert, und nur große, starke Airlines könnten im globalen Wettbewerb bestehen. Wird Lufthansa bald eine noch größere Marktführer-Rolle einnehmen? ✈️

Send us a textLufthansa drückt ITA Airways ihren Stempel auf! Ab sofort können Miles & More Mitglieder Meilen auf ITA-Flügen sammeln und einlösen. Zudem zieht ITA in die Lufthansa-Terminals in Frankfurt und München um, was kürzere Umsteigezeiten bringt. Ab 2026 verlässt ITA die SkyTeam-Allianz und tritt der Star Alliance bei. Lufthansa plant zudem ein großes Codeshare-Netzwerk mit über 250 Zielen. Eine schnelle Integration in den Konzern soll ITA schon 2025 profitabel machen – günstigere Tickets gibt es jedoch nicht, denn Lufthansa erwartet auch von ITA eine hohe Rendite. Wie wird sich die Airline unter Lufthansa entwickeln?

Send us a textAb Sommer 2025 bietet Lufthansa den kostenfreien „Chat“-Tarif erstmals auch auf Langstreckenflügen an!

Send us a textCondor nimmt die Dinge selbst in die Hand und setzt vermehrt auf City-Verbindungen wie Frankfurt-Berlin, um ein eigenes Zubringernetzwerk für die Langstrecke zu etablieren und Geschäftsreisende anzusprechen. Eine spannende Ergänzung könnte ein eigenes Vielfliegerprogramm sein, das laut Airline-Chef Peter Gerber in Planung ist, jedoch noch nicht konkretisiert wurde.Parallel dazu verlängert Condor die Kooperation mit American Express Platinum bis Oktober 2025. Langstreckenpassagiere profitieren weiterhin von Rabatten, zusätzlichen Gepäckstücken und weiteren Annehmlichkeiten. Allerdings fallen ab März 2025 die Vorteile auf Kurz- und Mittelstrecken sowie der kostenfreie Zugriff auf das Onboard-Wifi weg.Die neue Strategie könnte Condor helfen, die Kundenbindung zu stärken und unabhängiger von den Zubringerdiensten der Lufthansa Group zu werden. Gleichzeitig müssen Vielflieger und Amex-Nutzer die Einschränkungen im Auge behalten, um die verbliebenen Vorteile optimal zu nutzen.#CondorAirlines #Vielfliegerprogramm #AmexPlatinum #Reisen #Flugreisen #Langstrecke #Bonusprogramm #GeschäftsreisenFragen des Tages: Habt ihr die American Express / Condor Kooperation genutzt?
