Lufthansa Cuts 5 More Flights at Birmingham Airport

0:00On April 2-8, Birmingham Airport just hit with five more flight cancellations, all from Lutanza as jet fuel prices keep climbing out of control. These cuts are straight cost-saving moves amid the squeeze on airlines everywhere. Earlier this month, Lutanza announced they'd scrap 20,000 short haul flights through October, rolling out reductions across their big hubs, like Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Vienna, Brussels, and Rome. They're canceling about 125 to day group, why just to manage fuel bills. This all ties back to fuel shortages and skyrocketing costs linked to the war in Iran, hitting carriers hard. Other airlines like KLM, Air France, and Delta have trimmed routes too, while some just jack-up ticket prices to cover it. At Birmingham specifically, expect disruptions today and into tomorrow morning, the 1025 PM departure to Frankfurt, 555 PM, to Munich, plus arrivals from Frankfurt at 950 AM, and 925 PM, and from Munich at 510 PM.
