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)

Free Ukraine wrote that Ukrainian drone operations had led to the closure of Moscow's airports during the week, with only brief periods when flights could land and take off. On the night of Saturday, Moscow's airspace had once again been cleared after a drone alarm, and five flights carrying Russian tourists returning from Turkish Antalya had been forced to turn around in the air. According to Free Ukraine, passengers received very little information and had to wait at the airport to board. They could then be left on the planes all night if a new alarm sounded. The author compared the situation to how civilians in Ukraine waited in shelters during the nights and wrote that Russia would have to feel the consequences of the invasion. Free Ukraine also wrote that Russian authorities did not urge people to seek shelter during the drone alarms, which the author interpreted as the authorities being confident that Ukraine was not targeting civilian sites. The author speculated that the greatest threat to the Russians might be their own air defense incompetence. #Ukraina #Ryssland #Drönare (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that since 2019, 300,000 flights have been removed from the schedule at German airports, while aviation in Europe is booming. The consequences for the location are severe, he reported to the Welt. Boeminghaus described the development as deliberately brought about and ideologically driven disaster, for which Angela Merkel's politics are also partly responsible. He has already published a YouTube video about it and urged his followers to watch it. https://t.co/39mGEwQ46W #Luftfahrt #Flughafen #Politik (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that the Pope had part of his right lung removed on Tuesday. On Friday, according to Cardinal Secretary of State Parolin, he personally called Putin to advocate for the population of the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky. He demanded a ceasefire so that food and medicine could be brought into the city and civilians could be safely and voluntarily evacuated. According to the information cited by Laska from the United Nations, about 1,700 people, including 47 children, were still waiting there. The Kremlin had promised cooperation, but no commitment to a ceasefire had been announced, Laska wrote. Parolin hopes that Putin will comply with the request. Laska rejected the objection that Ukraine is blocking aid. Ukrainian forces had delivered about four tons of food to Oleshky by drone at the end of September and nearly four tons of aid supplies in early October. However, a city could not be permanently supplied in this way, she wrote. Additionally, according to the Ukrainian city administration, Russian soldiers were seizing the aid supplies. Drones also cannot bring people out of the city. Laska emphasized that a phone call is not yet a humanitarian corridor and a friendly note of conversation does not feed the people of Oleshky. She thanked the Pope for his initiative and wrote that Putin must now allow the people in the city to continue living. #Papst #Putin #Oleschky (translated)
