The crown pandemic has forced Lufthansa’s Swiss subsidiary to take radical measures. The airline punished 90 percent of the fleet weeks ago. Currently, Swiss only operates one long-distance aircraft and five short-range aircraft.
So yesterday fans of the flight were shocked when they discovered eight planes on the Flightradar 24 tracking page, which were heading to Jordan. Because the Lufthansa subsidiary does not need the planes for a long time, it ships five Airbus A320s and two A330s to the heat, better for the machines. A plane brought the crew back to Zurich.
Indefinitely
BLICK now has a photo of the Swiss plane at Amman airfield for the first time. You can see three of the seven planes that will remain parked in Jordan indefinitely. “Storage of the aircraft is particularly recommended in situations where the aircraft is no longer required for operational use for more than three months,” said a Swiss spokeswoman. SRF.
So far, other planes have been parked at Zurich and Geneva airports and at the Dübendorf military airfield. The airline also extended its mini-flight plan due to the corona virus from late April to May 31. Until then, the Lufthansa subsidiary will continue to operate only around 28 weekly flights.
Switzerland needed state aid
The Federal Council wants to support aviation in the crown crisis with 1,875 million Swiss francs. The finance commissions of the National Council and the Council of States agree. However, they want to link financial aid to social and environmental requirements.
These are guarantees of 1,275 million Swiss francs for bank loans to Switzerland and Edelweiss. A second loan of CHF 600 million will be used to support near-flight operations at domestic airports. (whoosh)
