FRANKFURT—Deutsche Lufthansa AG said on Thursday that Chief Financial Officer Simone Menne has decided to step down and will leave the airline on Aug. 31.

The company said Ms. Menne had asked to leave to pursue other career options. A decision on her successor will be taken shortly, Lufthansa said in a statement.

"The supervisory board regrets Ms. Menne's decision but has, after careful consideration, acceded to her request to be prematurely released from her contractual obligations," the company said.

Ms. Menne has been a member of Lufthansa's executive board since July 2012. She is also a member of the supervisory boards of BMW AG and Deutsche Post AG.
