Lufthansa canceled several intercontinental flights over Christmas because too many pilots called in sick.

From December 23rd to 26th, connections across the North Atlantic to Boston, Houston and Washington, for example, are particularly affected, said a company spokesman on Thursday.

This is where the passengers can easily be rebooked.

Frankfurt / Main - “We planned with a very large buffer.

But that's not enough for the extremely high sickness rate, "said the spokesman.

He did not want to speculate about a connection with the Corona variant Omikron, since Lufthansa was not informed about the type of diseases.

First the portal “aero.de” reported on the staff shortages, which can only partially be met with volunteers.
