Lufthansa Group's short and long-haul schedule will be significantly reduced again

The Lufthansa Group airlines will further reduce their short- and long-haul schedule. The cancellations, which will be published as early as 17 March 2020, will lead to a sharp decline in long-haul service especially in the Middle East, Africa and Central and South America. Overall, the Lufthansa Group's seating capacity on long-haul routes will be reduced by up to 90 per cent. A total of 1,300 weekly connections were originally planned for summer 2020.

Within Europe the flight schedule will also be further reduced. Starting tomorrow, around 20 percent of the originally planned seating capacity will still be offered. Originally, some 11,700 weekly short-haul flights were planned for summer 2020 with Lufthansa Group airlines.

The additional cancellations will be published over the next few days. The new Lufthansa Group flight schedule is initially valid until 12 April 2020.
