Lufthansa takes a Christmas break from Indian Operations

India is a huge market for Lufthansa in terms of business travellers. Since during the holiday season, December 25 to January 1, business in North America and Europe practically closes down, business travel also slopes downwards. Lufthansa has taken this time to cancel the following flights during the holidays to be able to adjust to lower demand, and perhaps give some of their crew some time off.

Bottomline

Lufthansa has done it before in 2012. Since the cancellations are pre-determined, it won’t affect bookings of passengers. You can still connect to Frankfurt on Lufthansa’s other operational frequencies. And as for Mumbai passengers, Air India won’t take a Christmas break from its newly launched Mumbai to Frankfurt operations.
