""In view of significantly increased kerosene prices, which have more than doubled compared to the period before the Iran war, as well as rising additional burdens from labor disputes, the implementation of the corporate strategy is being partially accelerated.""
""As a first, immediately effective step, starting the day after tomorrow, the 27 operational aircraft of Lufthansa Cityline will be permanently removed from the schedule to reduce further losses at the loss-making airline.""
""Lufthansa also said it would withdraw four older long-haul aircraft from its core brand fleet at the end of its summer flight schedule.""
""The pilots are staging a two-day walkout until Friday. Thursday is also the second day of a strike by cabin staff in a push for better working conditions amid a broader labour dispute.""
Lufthansa's regional subsidiary, CityLine, will suspend operations of 27 older aircraft as part of immediate cost-cutting measures. This decision comes in response to significantly increased kerosene prices and ongoing labor disputes. The airline aims to reduce losses at CityLine, which was not expected to cease operations until 2028. Additionally, Lufthansa plans to withdraw four older long-haul aircraft and reduce short- and medium-haul flights. The actions are influenced by a wage dispute with the pilots' union and a strike by cabin staff for better working conditions.
