Due to the continuing travel restrictions, Lufthansa will extend its repatriation flight schedule, which was originally scheduled to run until 19 April, to 3 May.
This also means that all remaining flights of the original flight schedule between 25 April and 3 May will be cancelled. Flights which were planned to operate until 24 April were cancelled at an earlier date. As of today, 2 April, the route cancellations will be implemented successively.
Lufthansa will continue to offer a basic service. A total of 18 weekly long-haul flights are scheduled: three times a week each from Frankfurt to Newark and Chicago (USA), Montreal (Canada), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Bangkok (Thailand) and Tokyo (Japan).
Flights to Johannesburg (South Africa) due to depart before 16 April have been cancelled due to official regulations. In addition, the airline still offers approximately 50 daily connections from its hubs in Frankfurt and Munich to the most important cities in Germany and Europe.
SWISS will also offer three weekly long-haul services a week to Newark (USA) from Zurich and Geneva, in addition to a substantially reduced short- and medium-haul timetable focusing on selected European cities. Timetable to be announced.
In addition to regular cargo flights, the Lufthansa Group has already operated 22 pure cargo special flights with relief supplies on board. A further 34 special cargo flights are already planned.
