Germany news: Lufthansa scraps 20,000 flights
"Lufthansa confirmed that the discontinuation of its CityLine subsidiary would lead to the scrapping of 20,000 flights between now and October, affecting various short-haul routes."
"The airline stated that the cancelations would save more than 40,000 tons of kerosene, the price of which has doubled since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran."
"Ten further connections will be rerouted via other Lufthansa hubs, including Munich, Vienna, Zurich, Brussels, and Rome, to maintain service to affected destinations."
Lufthansa announced the cancellation of 20,000 flights through October, primarily affecting its CityLine subsidiary. Short-haul routes deemed uneconomical include connections from Frankfurt to several cities in Poland, Norway, and other European destinations. Ten additional routes will be rerouted through other hubs. The airline anticipates that these cancellations will save over 40,000 tons of kerosene, which has seen a price increase due to geopolitical tensions. Further details on the flight optimization plan will be provided at the end of April.
