Re: Lufthansa Group Fleet Thread - 2020

Sorry if this has already been addressed in this thread and I missed it, but: If airlines are so swiftly phasing out their 4-engine aircraft (A380, B747), then why is LH hanging onto their A340 fleet for so long ? What I'm further asking is: What are the chances that they'll pull their A340s by the ...

Lufthansa Technik // Manilla

What's so special about LH Technik Manilla ? I mean, why did BA recently send their A380s to LH Technik Manilla for service, when there's a LH Technik much closer in Hamburg ?? Is there some logistical or technical superiority to the Manilla facility ? Or was it a simple matter of scheduling ?? Than...

Passenger Counts on Recent Europe-America Flights ?

Does anybody have any information on this ? Are they flying mostly empty ?? Or still at capacity ? Maybe some airlines are carrying mo...

Mail Delivery Between Europe/America

With the upcoming cessation of commercial flights between Europe & America, will this have any impact on intercontinental mail deliveries ? I was under the impression that a lot of mail between Europe & America goes via cargo on commercial flights, but I could be mistaken. Thanks in advance !

Re: LH600 Frankfurt to Tehran returning to Frankfurt

Amazing how Iran came out immediately just hours after the crash saying it was a technical problem. They’ve been caught red handed. I’d expect most airlines to pull flights from Tehran now. Agreed. At the same time, though, I recognize that public relations are at work, and that they have a strong ...

It should go the same as any EU airport customs control. They'll probably want to see that you have a return flight booked within 90 days of your arrival, and they may ask for details on where you're staying.

Standard procedure.
