Report: Lufthansa Group Confirmed That 18,000 Flights Had Been Flown Empty To Keep Airport Slots - Airlive:

[...] Under these "use it or lose it" regulations, prior to the pandemic carriers had to utilise at least 80pc of their scheduled take-off and landing slots.

This was revised to 50pc as coronavirus saw travel become increasingly difficult – but airlines are still struggling to hit this target.

As a result of Lufthansa Group's latest figures, the Belgian federal government has written to the European Commission, calling for a change to the rules on maintaining slots.

    I don't understand the need to bring the vaccines into this. The vaccines aren't preventing the spread of the virus.

    Sure, they help you recover and maybe prevent you from getting seriously ill, but it doesn't make it wise to travel just because you have the vaccine.

    I propose that we limit posting on SoylentNews to those vaccinated against stupidity.
