Lufthansa CEO eyes airline mergers in Europe
German airline Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) wants to take part in much-needed industry consolidation in Europe so carriers can compete better with U.S. and Asian rivals, Chief Executive Carsten Spohr said on Thursday.

Instead of growing larger and taking profits by eliminating admin expenses of companies that are taken over, LH should concentrate on competing with service. With less airlines service grinds to a halt and prices rise due to lack of competition.
