A few days after its launch, the significantly stricter rules for airline passengers from the so-called Corona-risk areas and countries, in which mutations of the Virus have appeared, for a reduction of the travel. According to SPIEGEL information has evaporated, for example, the Lufthansa flight plan is imported from the countries concerned.
The Lufthansa offers in the Winter, otherwise, popular, and for the Airline’s lucrative holiday destination in South Africa, only a few flights. Normally, Lufthansa flies in the Winter from Munich and Frankfurt to Cape town. As of Friday, the capital, Johannesburg is booked with three Connections per week. Reason for deletion, it is said, the lack of passengers.
Also in Portugal, where the first in the UK surfaced Mutation is currently responsible for a dramatic Overload of the health system, flying Lufthansa significantly less than before. After Lisbon, a flyer, and second only to Frankfurt is in the future, only once instead of three times per week. On the route from and to Porto, the frequency is reduced from five to two per week.
Similarly, in the case of Ireland. Dublin, the capital, is only to be operated six times a week, there used to be seven Compounds. The British seaside resort of Brighton is no longer available on the programme of the Lufthansa.
The Federal government has adopted for the so-called virus variant areas of strict entry rules. Basically, the only German state shall be a citizen of the Airlines in your home and transported, however, the airlines are also allowed to transit passengers who do not leave the Airport. For all the travelers a Corona Test is before the departure is mandatory.
Less Administrative Offences
Meanwhile, Airlines and passengers keep halfway to the new rules. The Federal police had established in the first days after the adoption of the new order, many violations and airlines, tighter controls at the time of Check-In calls, the Numbers of offences, and slowly, it was in security circles.
Nevertheless, the officials find the controls at the airports are still passengers who have not executed, for example, the mandatory registration in an Online database for travellers correctly. In the past week alone have been registered according to the internal statistics of a dozen such cases. At about the same number of passengers the duty to test for Corona was either too old, or even fake.
Interior Minister Horst Seehofer was aiming for the middle of January, first of all, to prohibit the air traffic from high-risk areas completely and was back for the bold Plan even coverage from the Chancellery. Nevertheless, the lawyers, the Federal government realized immediately that it could not prohibit the German return to their home. As a compromise, it is imagined, the strict rules, which are designed to make every trip as unattractive as possible.
