Lufthansa cuts 20,000 summer flights

The aviation industry is facing a severe summer of disruption as Lufthansa leads a wave of capacity reductions across the continent.

The German carrier's decision to scrap nearly 20,000 flights through October highlights the unsustainable pressure of fuel prices, which have surged since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Other major airlines, including British Airways and Delta, are also reviewing their schedules as operating costs continue to climb.

Travel experts warn that these cuts will lead to higher ticket prices and widespread chaos for families planning their summer holidays.
