Lufthansa Group narrows Q1 2026 losses on record revenue, hedges 80% of 2026 fuel yet warns of potential supply limits

Lufthansa Group reported improved first-quarter 2026 results—revenue up 8% to €8.7bn (a Q1 record) with losses narrowing €110m to an adjusted EBIT loss of -€612m—supported by strong travel demand and higher cash flow despite strikes and Middle East disruptions. The group flagged a €1.7bn increase in its full-year fuel bill and warned of potentially reduced fuel availability later in 2026, even as it hedges ~80% of fuel on average for the rest of 2026.
