Lufthansa Group has reassured its customers that they need not fear flight cancellations due to a lack of kerosene during the upcoming summer season. The airline group, which includes Austrian Airlines (AUA), has stated that fuel supplies at its key European hubs are secure.

According to board member Dieter Vranckx, there are no indications from suppliers that fuel availability will be jeopardized at Lufthansa Group's six European hubs – Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Vienna, Brussels, and Rome – or at other international airports. This assurance aims to allow customers to book their summer travel with confidence.

Lufthansa emphasized its commitment to customer service by guaranteeing that rebookings or refunds will be provided in the event of any flight cancellations. This proactive communication seeks to mitigate concerns about potential disruptions related to fuel supply, particularly in light of geopolitical tensions that could affect shipping routes.

At all six European hubs of the Lufthansa Group – Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Vienna, Brussels and Rome – as well as at other airports abroad, there are no signs from our suppliers that the fuel supply in the summer is at risk.
