All flights into Europe must avoid Russia for fair competition, Lufthansa says

by Reuters Oct 16, 2024

Europe needs to ensure that airlines flying into the continent avoid Russian airspace to provide a level playing field in the industry, German airline group Lufthansa said on Wednesday.

Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said Chinese airlines have a big cost advantage because they can currently fly over Russia, and also do not face the same environmental costs as European carriers.
