"Lufthansa will cancel less profitable routes and focus on flights to and from its hub airports in Frankfurt and Munich, which could save approximately 40,000 tonnes of jet fuel."
"The price of jet fuel has more than doubled in certain markets since the US-Israeli war on Iran began in late February."
"Around 75 per cent of Europe's jet fuel imports come from the region, making any prolonged disruption especially challenging."
"For travellers, this has already meant fewer flight options and higher fees heading into the peak summer season, with many airlines raising checked bag fees or adding fuel surcharges."
Lufthansa Group plans to remove 20,000 short-haul flights from its schedule through October, driven by increased oil prices and fuel supply worries due to the Iran war. The airline will focus on more profitable routes to its hub airports in Frankfurt and Munich, potentially saving around 40,000 tonnes of jet fuel. The ongoing conflict has caused jet fuel prices to more than double, significantly impacting European airlines that rely on Middle Eastern imports for fuel. Travelers will face fewer flight options and higher fees as a result.
