LUFTHANSA HAS SACKED 100 recent employees as its latest cost-cutting plan is put into action. The airline adds that further staff reductions and changes in pay scales are inevitable as it struggles with a weak German economy and the strength of the deutschemark.
The jobs are being lost among ground staff. The cost cutting is aimed at trimming unit costs from DM0.17 (11¢) per seat kilometre to less than DM0.15 by 2001.
