Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Eurowings intends to cut five percent of its planned flight program due to high fuel costs. The newly launched routes from Cologne and Stuttgart to Dubai would be discontinued, while the route from Berlin would remain unchanged. The Lufthansa subsidiary is considering short-time work for the winter and is already in discussions with the Federal Employment Agency, according to Boeminghaus. In addition, administrative costs should be reduced, and the Christmas party should be canceled. The Verdi union is demanding a possible increase in short-time work benefits. Boeminghaus noted that the cuts are planned despite the continued profits of the Lufthansa Group. https://t.co/Et6FagCpdw #Eurowings #Luftfahrt #Kurzarbeit (translated)

The current situation in healthcare and the inequality in medical appointments are leading to a growing dissatisfaction among citizens, which threatens trust in a fair state, while at the same time Eurowings has to cancel flights and consider short-time work due to high kerosene costs. #Eurowings #Ungleichheit #Gesundheitswesen (translated)

If the tax exemption for kerosene were abolished, along with the company car privilege that only directs money to where there is already a lot of money, the price of the Germany ticket could fall to around 5 euros. This is a contribution to the topic: "We can no longer afford all of this!" (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Zurich Airport also reports a shortage of jet fuel. A bottleneck has only been resolved by tapping into legal reserves. Frankfurt Airport is also struggling with a jet fuel shortage, while heating oil prices in Switzerland have doubled in recent days. He accompanied the statement that everything depends on logistics with an ironic comment. #Kerosinmangel #Logistik #Flughafen (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus pointed to a significant rise in heating oil prices in Switzerland and warned of supply shortages. In the Bern region, heating oil now costs around 171 Swiss francs per 100 liters, compared to about 98 francs the previous year. About one in three residential buildings in Switzerland is heated with heating oil, he wrote. As indications of the tense supply situation, Boeminghaus cited the Rhine water level at Kaub, which was at ten centimeters on October 15, as well as nearly 80 percent lower quantities of mineral oil in the Basel ports in August compared to the previous year. The kerosene supply is also strained. The historical low water levels increasingly threaten energy supply and drive up transport costs, he wrote, referring to Handelsblatt. https://t.co/RAFhIoEyOv #Heizöl #Schweiz #Energieversorgung (translated)

Volker Ketzer wrote that kerosene is becoming scarce at Frankfurt Airport. Lufthansa is therefore preemptively fueling more on selected routes before planes fly to Frankfurt. He cited bottlenecks in supply at the destination as the reason, rather than longer flight distances. He pointed out that this concerns Germany's largest airport and described the situation as Germany in 2026. #Frankfurt #Lufthansa #Flughafen (translated)

Lufthansa has taken measures at Frankfurt Airport against a looming kerosene shortage by instructing planes on certain routes to take on additional fuel before departure to avoid bottlenecks due to pipeline maintenance and low Rhine water levels. #Lufthansa #Kerosin #FrankfurterFlughafen (translated)
