VIENNA—Business air travel is recovering faster than expected and should remain solid through the winter, the chief executive of Germany’s Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) said in remarks published on Monday.

Meanwhile private travel is seeing an “extension of the summer season” as people catch up on flights they were not able to take immediately after the onset of the pandemic, Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr told Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung.
