BERLIN: Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Europe’s biggest airline, is working on further belt-tightening measures that could result in the elimination of 20,000 more jobs, according to newspaper NZZ am Sonntag.

The steps are currently being hammered out by the management of the German carrier and could be communicated in September, the Swiss newspaper reported, citing two people it didn’t identify.

The cuts under consideration for September would be on top of measures already publicly announced, NZZ am Sonntag said.
