Lufthansa says no decline in US bookings despite stricter border policy
Mar 31, 2025 11:32 PM

BERLIN (Reuters) - German airline Lufthansa has not experienced a decline in bookings to and from the United States despite a stricter border policy under President Donald Trump, its finance chief said.

"Our important transatlantic business continues to look very good," CFO Till Streichert told newspaper Boersen-Zeitung in an interview released late on Monday.

Streichert described the market environment for 2025 as positive, especially in the North Atlantic, saying he expected a "significant improvement in earnings for the group".

Last month, Germany updated its travel advisory for the U.S. to emphasise that a visa or entry waiver does not guarantee entry for its citizens. It came after three citizens were detained at the border.

On Monday, British airline Virgin Atlantic said it was starting to see some signals that demand was slowing in the United States after a strong start to 2025.

It echoed a warning from its part-owner Delta Air Lines over the impact of U.S. economic uncertainty amid tariffs and rising prices.
