BERLIN, April 29 (Reuters) - Lufthansa on Tuesday

reported a first-quarter loss in line with expectations as it

faces growing investor concern over knock-on effects to consumer

spending and demand from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff

threats.

During the first three months of 2025, the German flag

carrier generated an adjusted loss before interest and taxes

(EBIT) of 722 million euros ($822.14 million) compared with a

718-million-euro loss forecast by analysts in a company-led

poll.

The German flag carrier confirmed its outlook for the full

year, forecasting adjusted EBIT to be "significantly higher"

than the previous year, as it warned of uncertainties due to

trade tensions between the United States, Europe and other

regions.

The company said it has set up "a task force to closely

monitor current developments and, if necessary, respond quickly

and flexibly to any weakening in demand, for example by

adjusting capacity".
