In its meeting today, Deutsche Lufthansa AG's Executive Board adjusted its
earnings forecast for the current financial year to the latest
developments. It is now expecting that the Group will earn an operating
profit at the upper end of the three-digit million Euro range. However, as
viewed currently, the target of a further increase on the previous year's
figure (EUR 876m) no longer appears to be achievable.

The adjustment undertaken reflects a weaker than expected monthly result
for August reported by the Passenger Airline Group. In view of ongoing
economic uncertainties, further booking trend expectations were also
adjusted.

Against the background of the increased sales risks, a package of measures
was decided at the same time that provides for a further reduction in
scheduled capacities in the 2011/12 winter timetable.
