Frontier Airlines giving free flights in exchange for adopting cats

If you adopt one of these cats, Frontier Airlines will throw in a free flight too

Frontier Airlines says it would give free flight vouchers to anyone who adopts one of three airline-themed kittens from a Las Vegas animal shelter. The Animal Foundation of Las Vegas, the state’s biggest animal sanctuary, recently welcomed three cats with the names Frontier, Spirit, and Delta.

The Denver-based “ultra-low-cost” airline tweeted last week, “We’d love to provide two flight coupons to the people who adopt @Delta and @Spirit; and four vouchers to the person who adopts Frontier.”

The vouchers have been sent to the shelter, but they won’t be given out until the kittens are available for adoption, which should happen in approximately a month, according to a representative from the airline.

The vouchers are in the possession of the adoption group, who have also expressed their gratitude, according to Frontier Corporate Communications Director Jennifer de la Cruz.

This is so sweet! Thank you for the honor, @animalfndlv! We'd love to donate two flight vouchers each to the people who adopt @Delta and @Spirit; and four vouchers to the person who adopts Frontier. ?? @FOX5Vegas pic.twitter.com/kbmud6RcZt

German Carrier Lufthansa Plans for 20% Job Cuts in Administration

Lufthansa Airlines is reportedly planning significant job cuts in its administrative workforce. According to Manager Magazin, the German carrier intends to reduce administrative positions by 20% as part of its cost-cutting measures amidst an anticipated decline in earnings.

This reduction could impact approximately 400 jobs, the report revealed. While Lufthansa has not directly commented on the layoffs, the airline confirmed its goal of cutting administrative costs by 20% by 2028.

The strategy involves leveraging digital technologies, including artificial intelligence and automation. “A hiring freeze is currently in place for administrative roles at Lufthansa Airlines,” said a company spokesperson.

The staff reduction is expected to occur through natural attrition and age-related turnover, rather than forced layoffs. The internal projection cited by the magazine warns that Lufthansa could face an operating loss of €800 million ($843.92 million) by 2026 if no corrective measures are taken.

The report highlights the challenges companies face in aligning workforce requirements with current and future demands. Failure to adapt could necessitate drastic actions, such as restructuring and layoffs, which carry significant repercussions for both the organization and its employees.

As Lufthansa navigates these challenges, the airline appears committed to balancing cost efficiency with digital transformation to maintain its competitiveness in a rapidly evolving industry.
