Lufthansa Chief Executive Officer Juergen Weber told Reuters that he expected United, a unit of UAL Corp (NYSE:UAL - News), would come out of its restructuring process strongly.
Asked whether the German carrier was considering financial aid for United, Weber said: That''s not our plan, but we are cooperating very closely.
