FRANKFURT: Deutsche Lufthansa AG predicted that earnings will fall for a second consecutive year as a capacity glut weighs on ticket prices while fuel costs rise.
Adjusted operating profit will decline “slightly” in 2017 after the figure dropped 3.6% to 1.75 billion euros (US$1.9bil) last year, including strike costs, Europe’s third-biggest airline said in a statement.
