Deutsche Lufthansa plans to restructure its airlines, aiming to bolster their competitive position and boost efficiency and profitability.

"The changes affect not only the structure of the organization, but even more so the processes, the financial management framework, and cross-group collaboration," the German carrier group said Friday.

With the measures, to be implemented on Jan. 1, the company intends to strengthen and expand the market position of Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines.

Airlines will continue to be responsible for customer experience as well as their respective flight operations and operational flight services, it said.

In the future, network management for short- and medium-haul flights of all hub airlines will be steered group-wide. Customers who already use more than one airline in the group for their travels will benefit from a better coordinated range of services.

Looking ahead, cooperation within the group will be managed primarily via so-called "Group Function Boards," which will comprise representatives from both the airlines and the group functions.

Information and technology functions will be consolidated in the department headed by Chief Technology Officer Grazia Vittadini.
