Lufthansa group offers extra Asia flights due to high demand

Airline group Lufthansa is offering extra flights to Asia and Africa in the coming weeks due to ‌high ⁠demand, ⁠it said on Tuesday.

Among the routes served by additional flights are Munich-Singapore, Frankfurt-Cape Town and Frankfurt-Riyadh, Lufthansa said.

"Austrian Airlines has ⁠already set ‌up 10 special flights from Vienna ⁠to Bangkok and back," the group added in a statement.


Lufthansa pointed to a "rise in demand for long-haul flights at short notice."

The global airline ‌industry is experiencing one of its sharpest shocks in ⁠recent years as key hubs in the Middle East, like Dubai and Doha, are severely restricted due to the Iran war.
