According to a statement from the group spokesperson, the airlines Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings are planning to restore some of their flights during June, subject to ongoing assessments of the security situation. Decisions about which flights will operate will be determined accordingly.
Industry assessments suggest this is a positive first indication from one of Europe's major airline groups, potentially signaling a gradual return to normality, albeit with caution. Lufthansa Group is often seen as a bellwether among European airlines.
In the meantime, passengers whose flights were canceled are being assisted directly by the airlines, with options to rebook under flexible terms or receive a full refund. The group emphasizes that passenger and crew safety remains the top priority, and all decisions will be made in response to on-the-ground developments.
