Europe’s travel disruptions restart to worsen as the German national carrier, Lufthansa<\/a>, 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frankfurt & Munich airports <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of the affected flights are on domestic and intra-European routes initially scheduled to depart from Frankfurt or Munich, and the airline’s long-haul flights or travels to vacation destinations will mainly be spared. According to the airline, these are the most affected flights as there are other alternative modes of transportation for travelers who require travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new onset of cancelations is still meant as a system relief to stabilize the operations at Frankfurt <\/a>and Munich airports<\/a> after previously targeted cancelations have shown some improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa had already revoked more than 3,000 flights <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cancelations should also decrease the traveler’s numbers during the morning and evening peaks. Lufthansa had already revoked more than 3,000 flights after COVID-19 infections struck its workforce, and another 770 connecting flights were scrapped soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, the Star Alliance member airline even resorted to prohibiting seat sales to its most costly price category to put a cap on availability, which made even the cheapest return flights command almost \u20ac1,000 ($1,002.16). A spokesperson for Lufthansa <\/a>stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa has implemented numerous measures and is recruiting additional staff wherever possible to provide the greatest possible stability of the flight program and thus offer its passengers the best possible planning security. Flight safety strikes, climate events, and, in particular, an expanded coronavirus infection rate have now put additional strain on the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With the new wave of cancelations in motion, Lufthansa expects that the flight schedules will be more relieved to have a lesser effect on travelers. Still, the airline cannot ensure if further flight schedule adjustments for traffic peaks in August will not happen and foresees its possibility later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa has also previously said that it doesn’t expect flight operations to return to normal until next year. One of the airline’s board members, Detlef Kayser, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, we can hardly reach a short-term improvement now in the summer realistically. We hope the situation to return to normal by 2023.”Germany’s biggest airports and airlines, as with most of the world, have been struggling with problems dating back to the initial onset of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
