BERLIN (Reuters) – German carrier Lufthansa <LHAG.DE> stuck to its profit target for the year even as it reported improvements in ticket pricing trends and a 32 percent rise in third-quarter profit.
Lufthansa said it expected unit revenues, a measure of pricing, to rise slightly in the fourth quarter after a 4.5 percent increase in the third quarter.
Lufthansa expects 2017 profit to be above last year’s record 1.75 billion euros (£1.56 billion). CEO Carsten Spohr has said this year is shaping up to be significantly better than 2016.
Analysts on average expect Lufthansa to report 2017 adjusted EBIT of 2.6 billion euros.
