Europe’s travel disruptions restart to worsen as the German national carrier, Lufthansa, plans to scrap an additional 2,000 flights until the end of next month. These latest cuts bring the total number of revoked flights to nearly 6,000, but even the massive number can’t seem to lighten the chaos in the aviation industry.

A QantasLink Boeing 717-200 remains stuck in the mud at Rockhampton Airport on Queensland’s mid-north coast. The plane became bogged in the grass alongside a taxiway early on Monday evening after flying in from Brisbane. Almost 48 hours later, the jet stays firmly on the ground. It’s another aircraft temporarily out of action at Qantas and another headache for the airline.c
