Lufthansa CFO Simone Menne (L) stands with personnel before a news conference at Lufthansa headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, March 17, 2016. German airline group Lufthansa forecast only slightly higher profits in 2016, despite lower fuel prices, warning of cut-price competition and falling average fares as it ramps up its Eurowings budget business. Like rivals Air France-KLM and British Airways owner IAG, Lufthansa benefited from low oil prices and strong travel demand in 2015, enabling it on Thursday to restore dividend payments to shareholders.
