Lufthansa will offer replacement train connections to passengers who booked the affected flights, a spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Earlier Wednesday, Fraport warned of cancelled flights from this week as it was struggling to hire enough people after massive job cuts due to the COVID-19 crisis, especially in the field of ground handling.

Britain-based aviation companies including low-cost carrier easyJet (LON:EZJ) and British Airways have also cancelled flights as the lower capacity clashed with a peak in demand due to the Easter holidays.
