My BS detector is right off the scale - do you HONESTLY think, Lufthansa should run their own internet ? Parallel to the infrastructure already installed ? Its not that someone drilled into a cable at the LH HQ.
There is plenty of things I would fire the CEO for (e.g. closing LH Flighttraining down or the downward spiral of T&C for LH Group employees), but this is not one of them.
What this really highlights, is how the (EU driven) shift to privatization of crucial infrastructure allows for these weak points to develop.
