Lufthansa has grounded flights operated by its regional subsidiary, Lufthansa CityLine, citing strikes and a broader aviation crisis. The grounding halts regional flight operations, adding to the severe disruptions affecting European air travel. This follows recent warnings from the International Energy Agency about critically low jet fuel supplies across the continent. The combined pressures of labor actions and fuel shortages are creating a cascading operational failure for major carriers.
