The German airline group Lufthansa announced the cancellation of 20,000 flights until next October, according to a press release.
الرحلات الملغاة هي “رحلات قصيرة المدى غير مربحة” عبر شبكة مجموعة لوفتهانزا، ومن خلال إلغاء 20 ألف رحلة مغادرة خلال هذه الفترة، ستحقق الشركة وفورات تقارب 40 ألف طن من وقود الطائرات، والذي تضاعف سعره منذ اندلاع الحرب في الشرق الأوسط، وفقًا لشركة الطيران لوفتهانزا.
The company announced it would cancel 120 flights daily until the end of May, and began implementing these cancellations on Monday. The company confirmed that affected passengers had been notified.
In a related context, the International Energy Agency has warned that Europe could run out of jet fuel within six weeks, according to DR.
The export of jet fuel, along with oil, liquefied gas, and fertilizers, is considered one of the most affected sectors as a result of the conflict at the Strait of Hormuz, stemming from the US-Israeli war on Iran at the end of last February.
