Lufthansa is forecasting a potential decline in the dominance of Gulf carriers such as Emirates and Qatar Airways on Asian routes as the conflict in Iran unfolds. CEO Carsten Spohr expressed these concerns in an interview with Manager Magazin, published on Tuesday.
Spohr noted that the major hubs of these Gulf carriers now find themselves situated in a region fraught with new risks. This geopolitical shift could have significant implications for the future of global air travel, he emphasized.
The statement hints at a possible reshaping of airline market dynamics, particularly affecting routes to Asia, as the industry grapples with evolving threats and challenges in the Middle East.
