Lufthansa to Reduce Domestic Flights

German flag carrier Lufthansa plans to scale back its domestic flight operations due to rising costs and taxes in Germany.

Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr stated that expenses have doubled since 2019, prompting the airline to cancel around 100 domestic flights per week next summer.

Further reductions would be inevitable if local costs are not brought under control.

Lufthansa's decision aims to cope with soaring operational costs, mounting taxes, and rising airport fees.
