It will probably take a few weeks or months until these Swiss machines are back in regular service.

The corona crisis hits the airline industry with full force. Lufthansa too. The company does not yet estimate how many jobs are at stake. According to the information, the restructuring affects all group companies. The flight operations of the Cologne subsidiary Germanwings will not be resumed.
–
At Swiss, the fleet size will be adjusted due to the delayed delivery of short and medium-haul aircraft that have been ordered, it says. In addition, the early retirement of older aircraft is checked.
–
Dozens of planes shut down
Specific information is given about the Lufthansa fleet. Six A380s, seven A340-600s and five Boeing 747-400s will be shut down here. There are also eleven Airbus A320s on the short-haul route. This will also reduce the capacity at the Frankfurt and Munich hubs.
–
At Lufthansa Cityline three and at Eurowings ten aircraft are taken out of operation. The restructuring programs already started at Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines will be exacerbated by the corona crisis, it is said. At the same time, all leases with other airlines were canceled.
–
Demand will not rise as quickly
The reasons for the dismantling measures are said to take months until the global travel restrictions are completely lifted and years until global demand for air travel returns to pre-crisis levels.
–
The aim of all employees affected by the restructuring package continues to be to offer as many people as possible to continue working within the group. Talks are to be quickly agreed with the social partners, among other things to talk about new employment models to secure as many jobs as possible. (pbe / SDA)
