The federal government rejects plans by Lufthansa to pay bonuses to its board members despite billions in state aid during the pandemic. “The federal government expressly sees it differently,” said government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit on Wednesday. “In their understanding, the accumulation of bonus payments in connection with a later payment after the end of the stabilization measures that have taken place in the WSF would violate the agreements made.” This will be discussed with Lufthansa. In 2020, the state had saved the airline from going out with six billion euros. Lufthansa has since repaid the aid. The federal government sold its stake at a profit.
