Airline is cancelling 3,100 flights after a wave of coronavirus infections worsened staffing shortages, adding to Europe’s travel chaos

Deutsche Lufthansa is cancelling a total of 3,100 flights after a wave of coronavirus infections worsened staffing shortages, adding to Europe’s travel chaos as the crucial summer vacation period gets under way.

Growing labour unrest as workers seek pay increases to keep up with inflation is adding to the problem, with strikes threatened or under way at airlines including Ryanair and IAG’s British Airways. A group of Czech teenagers travelling to Portugal to attend a surf camp got swept up in the chaos. Their Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt was delayed late on Thursday, causing them to miss their connection to Lisbon. They spent the night in an airport hotel with no working air-conditioning and as of noon local time, were still waiting for confirmation if they could make it out on Friday.
