Under EU law, planes will fly without passengers so that the airlines do not collapse

According to the rules of the European Union, for the winter period 2021/2022, airlines must use at least 50 percent of their slots or risk losing them.

All due to the rules on the allocation of slots at airports. Because of them, Lufthansa cannot simply reduce the number of flights, as they risk losing their right to land in the future. The law will force them to fly even without passengers on board in order to maintain the possibility of providing services in the future when the demand for flights picks up again.
