Lufthansa CEO reports clear return for short haul business travel

Lufthansa Group chairman and CEO Carsten Spohr stated "We are seeing very clearly that business travellers are coming back" (Reuters, 15-Sep-2021). He added: "Due to the major unprecedented bottlenecks in global supply chains, the boom has even increased since the end of the summer holidays". Lufthansa plans to raise domestic flight capacity in Germany by 30% overall in Sep-2021, with a further 15% increase in Oct-2021.
