The Lufthansa Group will cancel 20,000 flights until October to save fuel in the face of rising energy prices and shortages caused by the Iranian war. 

The German group reported last night that this measure will save 40,000 tonnes of kerosene, the price of which has doubled since the start of the Iranian war.

Due to fuel shortages caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the Lufthansa group has decided to close its subsidiary Cityline. Indeed, most of the flights it has cancelled are related to this airline and those from Frankfurt and Munich airports. 

According to the Lufthansa Group, the fuel supply is secured for the coming weeks and expects to maintain the remaining flights scheduled for the summer.

On the contrary, the Lufthansa Group (Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Swiss, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings and ITA Airways) will offer more flights to Zurich, Vienna and Brussels. 

Similarly, Lufthansa wants to optimise the offer of flights from the airports of Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Vienna, Brussels and Rome for the summer. 

In addition, Lufthansa will review medium-term flight planning for the coming months.
