""Passengers will therefore continue to have access to the global route network, particularly long-haul connections. However, due to the increase in jet fuel prices, this will be achieved significantly more efficiently than before.""
""The price of jet fuel has more than doubled recently due to slowed production and transportation issues, including disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for 41% of all European jet fuel imports.""
""The cuts aim to streamline operations and increase efficiency by consolidating 10 short-haul connections within the Lufthansa Group and rerouting passengers through larger hubs.""
Lufthansa is reducing its flight schedule by eliminating 20,000 short-haul flights through October to address rising jet fuel prices. This decision is expected to save approximately 40,000 metric tons of fuel. The cuts will affect unprofitable routes across the Lufthansa Group, including several airlines. Passengers will still have access to long-haul connections, but operations will be streamlined by consolidating short-haul routes and rerouting through larger hubs. Further adjustments to the flight schedule are anticipated in late April or early May.
