“We are pleased to have found a strong new owner for AirPlus from the financial industry. SEB Kort brings along a great amount of experience in the payment business and has the full support of the AirPlus management. AirPlus is perfectly positioned in the market and, as part of a larger financial group, will be able to realize its potential better than in the Lufthansa Group. In turn, it enables us to focus even more on further improving the profitability and capital return of the Lufthansa Group core business. My thanks go to the employees of AirPlus. They have made their company a global leader in B2B payment services,” says Remco Steenbergen, Chief Financial Officer of Lufthansa.
