10 Jun 2020 12:32PMFRANKFURT AM MAIN: Cabin crews on standby with destinations revealed only hours before the flight, pilots put on simulators to keep up to date - an airline restarting after the pandemic is a far cry from the clockwork precision of the pre-coronavirus world.
"Historic data we've gathered over decades are useless for flight planning in the near future," said chief financial officer Thorsten Dirks, explaining that Lufthansa's"artificial intelligence has to be re-trained" to address the altered situation.Flight and cabin crew on standby through the period must also be kept up to date.
Lufthansa is keen to get them up in the air as a longer out-time means more technical work to get them flying again. "There are much higher hurdles to reactivation" from deep storage, and"it can take up to four weeks" as more extensive maintenance work may be needed, Matuschek explained.From early June, the German juggernaut has been offering more routes, aiming to serve 90 per cent of short-haul and 70 per cent of long-haul destinations by September.
