Deutsche Lufthansa AG regrets to announce that:

Unfortunately, the Spanish authorities have not yet released the passenger list for today’s Spanair flight JK 5022. Therefore, prior to subsequent confirmation by the Spanish authorities, Lufthansa can only state that seven passengers with Lufthansa tickets checked in for the flight that crashed. Four of those passengers were from Germany. Whether they were actually on board or not has yet to be confirmed. Spanair flight JK 5022 was also operating as a code-share flight with the flight number LH 2554. Unfortunately, Lufthansa is currently unable to issue any statements with regard to the condition of the passengers that checked in with the Lufthansa tickets.

Lufthansa has sent a team of psychological experts to Madrid to assist Spanair in providing the affected passengers, as well as their family members and friends, with psychological support.

Spanair has set up a telephone hotline for family members and friends under:
