Lufthansa Cancels 20,000 Flights
The Lufthansa Group has announced the cancellation of 20,000 flights in the coming months, citing the severe impact of rising jet fuel costs driven by the ongoing conflict with Iran.
These cuts will primarily affect unprofitable short-haul routes across Europe through the end of October.
Industry experts warn that other major carriers may follow suit as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to disrupt global oil supplies.
Consequently, travelers are being advised to prepare for significant price hikes and potential summer holiday disruptions.
