Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 3.2 in the financial statements, which describes the nature of the Lufthansa Group cash pooling facility. Cash earned by the entity is swept into the pool each day and the entity relies on access to this cash pool to settle its liabilities. Although the company has access to a €5.2m overdraft facility from the cash pool this may not be sufficient funds to meet their liabilities as these fall due, and written assurance of unconditional parental support has not been obtained.

Significant events
- “In December 2024 the Company initiated the first phase of the sale of its defined benefit pension scheme entering into an agreement to transfer the scheme to an external provider. This transaction supports the Company's strategic objective of reducing long-term financial risk while ensuring the continued security of members' benefits. The transfer is progressing in accordance with regulatory requirements, and the Company remains committed to fulfilling its obligations throughout the process until the sale is concluded in 2025.”
- “In January 2025 the company completed a refinancing of its loan commitments in which £22,744,000 of the outstanding balance as at 31 December 2025 was repaid in return for an equity injection of an equal amount from its immediate parent, Lufthansa Technik A.G. This left an outstanding balance of £2,996,000 which is repayable by September 2027. This restructuring has strengthened the Company's financial position and aligns with its long-term sustainability objectives.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
