Augsburg (dpa / lby) – The manager of the Lufthansa hub in Munich, Stefan Kreuzpaintner, assumes that almost all planned holiday airlines will take off this summer. “This summer, 99 percent of all Lufthansa Group holiday flights and 95 percent of the entire flight program can take place,” he told the “Augsburger Allgemeine” (Friday). The airline recently canceled thousands of flights due to staff shortages. “All partners know that they now have to do everything to ensure stable air traffic. Every flight cancellation is one too many for our guests.” According to the manager, the flight plan should be adjusted so that as few flights as possible have to be cancelled.
Kreuzpaintner expects ticket prices to rise in the coming months: “The price development of kerosene is a major cost driver for all airlines. Unfortunately, we cannot avoid passing this price increase on to customers.”
