Lufthansa cutting back due to virus
|
I think most airlines are doing the same thing. I know from dutch media that KLM is.
Especially as it is not just flights within, to and from south east asia. |
I think the virus is partially being used as a "cleaning tool". Managers never miss a chance to miss a chance and twist the knife a bit more...
|
Conference travel, trade shows, sporting events travel is down as is Asia travel. No surprise so far and the real pandemia panic lies still ahead in Europe and the US. The secret is to shrink early not burn your budget while waiting for things to improve.

I would expect this across the board to be frank |
“Apologies for inconvenience”. Another meaningless phrase used by many service providers.
Hard headed sense when demand is reduced effected by waste conscious management such as that displayed by SQ. |

Oh, they'll exploit it for sure. But there really is a developing crisis and it's quite likely to have a major impact on travel, worldwide, for some time.

Lufthansa : all new hires planned for the airline will be reassessed, suspended or deferred to a later date. For the time being, the participants of courses that are already in progress will not be hired. |

Same old, same old.. crisis short term measures taken in an office by a few that will have a long lasting impact on the company for years... They never learn ...:*

Apparently, LH grounding 20% of their fleet! Wow!

Not only Lufthansa . Italian government announced today restrictions on movement population so that will hit the local airlines badly too.
The French Government has announced a plan ( so called level 3 ) in case massive expansion of virus that will virtually close any gathering of people including public transport. We are not there yet , but people are not booking flights at the moment . Difficult weeks/months ahead for everyone in our business.. :uhoh: |

I don't know where you're getting your info, but this is totally false. |
Are they perhaps grounding 4.16% of their fleet?

In order to stop the virus spreading further, the Italian government's special scientific committee on Coronavirus publish on Wednesday a set of recommendations it hopes everyone in the country will follow. The official advice states that people should avoid crowded places and keep “at least one metre” away from anyone else at all times. The official advise is for all over '75s to stay at home and “avoid social contact”. Anyone over the age of 65 with health problems and people with respiratory conditions have also been advised to stay at home. It is recommended that all football matches and other sporting events in Italy be played behind closed doors. This would include Serie A games, many of which have already been postponed due to the health ministry's recommendations. The warnings are in place for the whole of Italy for the next 30 days, though they will be re-evaluated every 15 days. |
So an advice to keep at least one meter from others is a "massive restrictions on movement population" now?
Don't bother linking Italian articles, I live there. |
