WED, MARCH 04 2020-theG&BJournal- Lufthansa, the German airline will be grounding 150 aircraft out of its total fleet of around 770 due to the coronavirus, according to Reuters.
‘’We are dynamically adjusting our plans to reflect extraordinary circumstances,’’ a Lufthansa spokesman told Reuters, adding that 25 of the 150 grounded aircraft are long-haul jets.
Last week the airline said it had grounded 23 long-haul aircraft.
Lufthansa Group airlines, which include Swiss, Brussels and Austrian airlines, had already said on Friday that it would reduce the number of short-and medium-haul flights by up to 25% in the coming weeks depending on how coronavirus spreads.
Lufthansa said on Monday that it was extending the suspension of flights to China until April 24, to Tehran until April 30 and reducing services to northern Italy due to coronavirus outbreak.
