• It has canceled more than 5,770 flights between June and August
German aircraft carrier Lufthansa announced that it was canceling an additional 2,000 flights from Frankfurt and Munich this summer, due to staffing shortages at airports.
With the dropping of travel restrictions and higher Covid-19 vaccine rates, this has been the first summer since the start of the pandemic where travelers have felt comfortable making overseas trips.
"Lufthansa has implemented numerous measures and is recruiting additional staff wherever possible to ensure the greatest possible stability of the flight schedule and thus offer its passengers the best possible planning security," the carrier told Reuters.
Lufthansa has canceled more than 5,770 flights between June and the end of August.
“The main cause of this is an immensely strong increase in traffic volume from just under 20% to over 90% within a few months,” Lufthansa said Wednesday.
The airline said the new cancellations would affect flights in Frankfurt and Munich through the end of August.
