After the appearance of a new variant of the corona virus, numerous countries have suspended air traffic from Great Britain for the time being. However, Lufthansa does not want to do without UK flights entirely: The AUA parent company continues to fly passengers to Great Britain.

The machines would return home empty, so a company spokesman told the Aero. Connections where the crew would have to spend the night in Great Britain have also been deleted. Seven flights would be made into the country on Monday. Meanwhile, the freight subsidiary Lufthansa Cargo is trying to respond to the tense situation in freight traffic with additional connections to the island.
