Oil: Discover Airlines cannot refuel enough kerosene in Namibia
The Lufthansa subsidiary has to make a temporary refueling stop in Angola for flights from Windhoek. The Iran war is thus also having an impact on the economy far from the Gulf.
Discover Airlines, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, is facing fuel shortages in Namibia, causing flights from Windhoek to Frankfurt and Munich to make a refueling stop in Luanda, Angola. The airline's daily return flight to Frankfurt was interrupted in Luanda on Wednesday and Thursday due to the shortage. Lufthansa stated that its fuel supply is stable, but the issue may also affect its Swiss subsidiary Edelweiss.
The fuel shortage is attributed to a local issue in Namibia, and the airline is working to resolve the problem and minimize disruptions to passengers. Passengers who miss connecting flights due to delays will be automatically rebooked.
