History

[edit]

Foundation

[edit]

Lufthansa Consulting GmbH was founded in 1998 as a subsidiary of Lufthansa to offer services to the transportation industry in general. Based on this decision a cooperation with a railway company and other transportation and aviation companies were planned.[citation needed]

In the 1990s with an increased market orientation the consulting portfolio was extended to include Air Traffic Control and infrastructure development services. Lufthansa Consulting established aviation restructuring and privatization services. During this period international projects included the privatization of Carrasco International Airport in Uruguay and the turnaround of Mexicana de Aviación in Mexico and the restructuring of Philippine Airlines.[citation needed]

Development since 2000

[edit]

From 2000 Lufthansa Consulting focused on management consultancy services for the aviation industry. Notable projects have included the restructuring of Air Madagascar, the development of Ouagadougou International Airport, flight operations and safety improvements at Petrobras and upgrading operational processes for Kenya Airways.[8][9]

In 2012, Andreas Jahnke took over the position as Managing Director of Lufthansa Consulting. New management structures and reorganized responsibilities were established. The company focuses primarily on regional markets in Europe, Russia, CIS, Middle East, Asia, Africa and South America. The new Inter-Branch services is active in non-aviation industries like transport and logistics companies, railways and bus line operators.[9]

In August 2014, it moved into its new headquarters at the Frankfurt Airport Center (FAC) at Frankfurt Airport, near Terminal 1. Previously it had offices in Cologne and Frankfurt,[10] with Cologne having the headquarters.[11]
