Germany - New agreement for cabin crew - November 30, 2025

Following intensive negotiations, the ver.di union has secured a new collective agreement for the approximately 1,800 flight attendants of Lufthansa subsidiary Eurowings. The agreement includes significant salary increases, higher bonuses, and improved profit sharing. Cabin crew compensation will be increased in two stages by a total of 5.4%. In addition, overtime pay will now increase dynamically with each subsequent salary increase. According to ver.di, this means an average of € 300 more per month for employees. Cabin crew profit sharing will be significantly increased and will amount to up to € 1,600 annually. In addition, employees will receive a one-time bonus of € 1,000 for the 2025 fiscal year to share in Eurowings' financial success.
