FRANKFURT: Deutsche Lufthansa AG is considering the sale of stock in its jet-aircraft maintenance business to fund the unit’s expansion and help boost the airline group’s market value, according to people familiar with the matter.
A partial spinoff of the Technik division to Lufthansa shareholders is also being considered, though an initial public offering of a stake is the more likely option, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations aren’t public. The review is at an an early stage and no final decision has been taken, they said.
