The Lufthansa Group will cancel over 3.000 flights in July and August due to staffing shortages which are plaguing both airlines and airports across Europe and North America. Service cuts, and in some cases route suspensions, will impact almost all markets served by the Lufthansa Group in the former Yugoslavia. According to "Aeroroutes", this July, Lufthansa itself will reduce its operations from Munich to Belgrade with 58 flights during the month instead of the initially planned 93. Operations from the Bavarian capital to Zagreb will be reduced from 31 to 28. The German carrier will also cancel one rotation during the month from both Frankfurt and Munich to Ljubljana, with 61 and 30 fights now planned respectively.
Low cost carrier Eurowings is significantly reducing frequencies across its network next month. The carrier will suspend its Cologne - Dubrovnik service, while it will temporarily stop operations between Stuttgart and Belgrade, from June 28 until August 12. Furthermore, it will run just ten flights between Dusseldorf and the Serbian capital during the month, instead of fourteen. Services from the German city to Zagreb will be cut from thirteen during the month to nine. Eurowings will also reduce its operations to the Croatian capital from Cologne, from 26 to fourteen flights, and from Stuttgart, from 23 flights to fourteen in July. Sarajevo will not be spared, with the budget carrier to run nine flights during the month instead of the initially planned thirteen. A number of cities on the Croatian coast will also be impacted. The airline will reduce flights from Cologne, Dusseldorf and Stuttgart to Rijeka, as well as from Stuttgart to both Pula and Split. Pristina will see fewer services from both Dusseldorf and Zurich.
Austrian Airlines plans to reduce its operations between Vienna and Zagreb this July, with the carrier now set to run 44 flights during the month instead of the initially planned 53. On the other hand, Brussels Airlines is reducing its Ljubljana operations from 26 to 22. At this points Swiss does not plan to downsize its services to former Yugoslav markets in July.
