MIAMI (Reuters) - A positive trend in April traffic at Germany's Lufthansa (DE:LHAG) continued in May, Chief Executive Carsten Spohr said on Sunday.
Lufthansa said last month its April passenger traffic in terms of revenue seat kilometres rose 7.1 pct, though the load factor, or proportion of seats sold, dropped 1.4 percentage points to 78.1 percent.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Spohr also said he thought the number of dedicated freighter aircraft at the airline group would slowly go down.
Lufthansa has a fleet of four Boeing (NYSE:BA) 777F and 16 Boeing MD-11F freighters, according to its latest annual report.
