German national airline Lufthansa and its low-cost subsidiary Eurowings have been forced to cancel around 1,000 flights next month, because of disruption affecting both carriers. It has been confirmed that Lufthansa planned to axe 900 domestic and European services from hubs at Frankfurt and Munich in July.
The airline said: “After a good two years of the pandemic, Lufthansa group airlines report high demand for air travel this summer. At present, however, the infrastructure has not yet been fully restored. The entire aviation industry, especially in Europe, is currently suffering from bottlenecks and staff shortages.
"This affects airports, ground handling services, air traffic control, and also airlines.”
