Throughout the 2017/2018 training year, the group also seeks to provide training to 250 new recruits across Germany.

Last month, Lufthansa secured European Commission’s approval to acquire German regional airline Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter (LGW).

Following completion of the deal, LGW will be integrated into Lufthansa’s Eurowings Group unit.

All the 33 LGW aircraft and employees will also be transferred to Eurowings which recently hired more than 500 employees, including a large number of pilots and flight attendants.
