Lufthansa Cargo banned from flying over Russia
Germany’s Lufthansa Cargo was on Sunday banned from using Russian airspace over an apparent dispute over the cost of doing so, reports the Financial Times.
Lufthansa has asked German authorities to help with the dispute that has caused delays to flights to Asia with flights needing to stop to refuel in Astana, Kazahstan.
On Monday, Germany’s transport ministry retaliated by banning Aeroflot cargo flights into Hahn airport close to Frankfurt, which was said to have been lifted the day after.
'We understand that the German and Russian transport ministries are now discussing the matter,' a Lufthansa spokesman told the London newspaper. 'We hope that a solution will be found very quickly.'
