Lufthansa trims summer schedule as jet fuel surges

It will suspend service to several cities (Heringsdorf, Cork, Gdańsk, Ljubljana, Rijeka, Sibiu, Stuttgart, Trondheim, Tivat and Wrocław) with refunds or rebooking onto SWISS, Austrian, Brussels Airlines or ITA Airways; some cuts may become permanent as fuel costs rise. The EU plans a fuel observatory to monitor supply amid broader industry cuts driven by Middle East tensions and soaring costs.

"Mexican President Warns of High Risk Operations at Capital Airport"

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador defended his decision to move cargo from Mexico City's principal airport, stating that operations at the airport are "very risky" due to operating at 150% of its capacity. The government-mandated flight cuts, set to take effect in January, have been criticized by industry groups and will also impact the usage tax collected from passengers. The move comes after the president scrapped the construction of an unfinished airport upon his election. Ratings agency Fitch recently revised the outlook of the trust managing the airport's outstanding bonds to negative, citing concerns about maintenance and passenger congestion.

Delta joins other airlines in reducing late-summer flights to NYC.

Delta Air Lines will cut just over 6% of its flights to and from New York City-area airports in August, following American Airlines and United Airlines in trimming their summer schedules in response to a shortage of air traffic controllers in New York. The biggest cuts were to flights between Delta's two primary New York hubs, LaGuardia Airport (LGA) and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). The FAA said last month that airlines could choose to temporarily return up to 10% of their slots between May 15 and Sept. 15.

Delta Airlines Continues to Suspend Services Across US Airports Due to Personnel Shortages.

Delta Air Lines will exit two regional markets, La Crosse, Wisconsin, and State College, Pennsylvania, effective June 5, bringing the total number of cities it has dropped during the pandemic to 17. The airline has not provided a timeline for when it might re-enter these markets. Delta is no longer selling any flights to either city beyond June 5. The pandemic and its effects have caused many major airlines to experience staffing shortages, particularly in their pilot ranks, leading to a major pullback in regional connectivity.
