Germany’s Lufthansa cuts capacity by 150 planes due to coronavirus

German airline Lufthansa on Wednesday said it would be cutting its capacity by the equivalent of 150 passenger planes in the face of plummeting demand due to the coronavirus epidemic.
Lufthansa’s Frankfurt Head Office said it would make the cuts to its usual fleet of around 750 planes as travel demand continues to fall across routes flown by the airline and its subsidiaries.
Earlier, it promised to suspend flights to mainland China until April 24, and Tehran until April 30, as well as restricting services to other badly affected areas including South Korea and Italy.
