Börse Express – Dirks, digital and finance director, is leaving Lufthansa

After acceptance of the state rescue package, Lufthansa leaves the digital and finance director Thorsten Dirks from board. The former telecommunications manager first joined the board three years ago as head of the Lufthansa low-cost brand Eurowings. The successful completion of the state stabilization measure was the reason for his withdrawal, the company said on Friday in Frankfurt.

The former E-Plus and Telefonica Germany boss Dirks had given up the leadership of Eurowings at the end of 2019 and after the health-related retirement of CFO Ulrik Svensson took over large parts of the finance department on the Lufthansa board. For the time being, CEO Carsten Spohr is taking over the digital and finance department./stw/ceb/DP/nas
