Skylight :

That is correct - Lufthansa will fly home to FRA up to 15.000 pax from Asia, US, S. America on a temporary exemption of the flight ban.

50 wide-bodies will be used, taking off later this evening from what the German press/TV is reporting.

Guess it's also pressure applied to the transport minister by the LH CEO Mayrhuber who pressed his views on national tv last night - the minister didn't look too good.

Well done / Gut gemacht, Lufhansa


Skylight :

Sky news just indicated that Luththansa have been given permission to fly 50 passenger flights back to Germany.they have not said where from?!
