Affected by the situation in the Middle East, Lufthansa Airlines of Germany plans to continue cutting its route network.

The US and Iran have temporarily reached a memorandum of understanding, but the impact of the conflict may be difficult to eliminate in the short term. Dieter Vranx, a member of the board of directors of Lufthansa Group, said on the 16th that due to factors such as tension in the Middle East and rising aviation fuel prices, Lufthansa plans to further cut its European route network. Vranx said that the losses on short-haul routes are affecting the profits of long-haul routes, and this situation is unsustainable.
