Luftfahrt: Eurowings prüft Kurzarbeit wegen hoher Kerosinkosten
Die Lufthansa-Tochter hat im aktuellen Programm erste Flüge gestrichen, darunter gerade erst gestartete Verbindungen nach Dubai. Neben der Kurzarbeit plant Eurowings weitere Sparmaßnahmen.
Eurowings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, is considering implementing short-time work due to high kerosene costs. The airline is in talks with the Federal Agency for Labor and has already reduced some flights, particularly those recently launched from Cologne and Stuttgart to Dubai. The company plans to cut five percent of its scheduled program, primarily through reducing individual frequencies rather than entire routes.
Eurowings has not provided specific figures on the potential scale of short-time work, but the company is also looking to save in administration and has canceled plans for a Christmas party. The Verdi union wants to be involved in the implementation of short-time work and has called for increased payments from the labor agency if needed.
