Lufthansa Sept Traffic Drops Due To Strikes

Lufthansa's passenger traffic fell in September, due to a two-day pilots' strike at the start of the month that saw over 1,000 flights cancelled.

In terms of revenue seat kilometres, traffic fell 0.3 percent, Lufthansa said, adding that the pricing environment remained tough.

Lufthansa has previously said it is confident it will be able to make up for strike costs incurred in the first nine months of the year and "comfortably" achieve its 2015 profit goal.
