Moreover, although its capacity in Western Europe is much bigger than in Eastern/Central Europe, the Lufthansa group has a better balance between the two halves of Europe than the other two groups. Almost one quarter of its European seats are in Eastern/Central Europe, compared with 13% for Air France-KLM and 10% for IAG(week of 6-Apr-2015, source: OAG).
It has more than four times IAG's seat capacity in Eastern/Central Europe and a little under four times Air France-KLM's. Given that air traffic growth rates are typically higher in the east of the continent, this ought to position Lufthansa well to capture more of this growth than its Big Three rivals.
7. Lufthansa is the leading airline group between Europe and Asia Pacific.
The Lufthansa group operates more direct seats from Europe to Asia Pacific than any other airline group. The Asia Pacific region offers higher growth rates than North America and Europe and so this is an advantage for Lufthansa relative to its European Big Three rivals.
However, it also means that it is more exposed to the growing competition from the Gulf Three (Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad) and Turkish Airlines as they attract traffic flows between Europe and Asia Pacific via their hubs in the Middle East and Turkey.
