Lufthansa cancels all flights between Germany and India from Sept 30

TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ Lufthansa has cancelled all its flights to India till October 20 after the ministry of civil aviation rejected its application to operate 20 flights per week.

India formalised an air bubble with Germany in July. An air bubble allows nationals of both countries to travel in either direction.

While Air India has been operating three-four weekly flights to Frankfurt, Lufthansa is operating 20 flights to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. The German airline also wanted to operate flights to Chennai in its October schedule.

“In spite of this disparity, we offered to clear seven flights a week for Lufthansa, which was not accepted by them. Negotiations continue between both sides,” an official of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said.
