Lufthansa raises operating result by EUR 111m to EUR 36m in the first
quarter of 2007 and achieves a net profit for the period of EUR 554m

Lufthansa increased revenue to EUR 4.7bn (previous year: EUR 4.4bn) and
achieved an operating result of EUR 36m (previous year: EUR -75m) in the
first quarter of 2007. Net profit rose to EUR 554m (previous year: EUR
-98m). In addition to a pleasing course of business, a gain of EUR 499m
from the sale of the 50% stake in Thomas Cook AG and a EUR 36m profit of
SWISS International Airlines attributable to Lufthansa contributed to the
good result. The full consolidation of SWISS is now expected to take place
at the beginning of the third quarter of 2007.

Lufthansa will publish further information and the complete interim report
on 26  April 2007. The data will be available online at
www.lufthansa-financials.com from 08:30 CEST.
