Lufthansa slashes flights amid Fraport personnel shortages
Lufthansa said it would cancel some domestic flights to Frankfurt from Thursday, an announcement that follows a staffing shortage warning from Germany's biggest airport operator, Fraport. Lufthansa will offer replacement train connections to passengers who booked the affected flights, a spokesperson said on Wednesday. Earlier Wednesday, Fraport warned of cancelled flights from this week as it was struggling to hire enough people after massive job cuts due to the COVID-19 crisis, especially in the field of ground handling. Britain-based aviation companies including low-cost carrier easyJet and British Airways have also cancelled flights as the lower capacity clashed with a peak in demand due to the Easter holidays. <br/>
