Hamburg summit proposes measures to fix German flight chaos

Govt officials and aviation industry executives have proposed a series of measures to end massive flight delays that plagued air traffic in Germany this summer. “A situation like this summer should not be repeated. I will not accept it again,” German minster of transportation Andreas Scheuer said. Lufthansa Group chairman & CE Carsten Spohr, who had said Aug 28 that his company accepted “a large share” of responsibility for the disruptions in German air traffic this summer, said his airline will provide additional aircraft and crews at major German airports and create a total of 600 additional jobs to improve quality. Lufthansa has spent about E250m this summer on compensation payments to passengers and is ready to invest the same amount of money. <br/>
