German airline group Lufthansa said it was permanently removing some of its large aircraft from service and reducing capacity for the long term, partly in response to the coronavirus.
“The Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG does not expect the aviation industry to return to pre-coronavirus crisis levels very quickly. According to its assessment, it will take months until the global travel restrictions are completely lifted and years until the worldwide demand for air travel returns to pre-crisis levels,” the airline said in a statement on Tuesday.
