The group, which includes Swiss International Air Lines and Austrian Airlines, said its repatriation schedules with a fleet of 80 aircraft would end on May 31.

Starting in June, numerous sunny destinations such as Mallorca, Sylt, Rostock and Crete will once again be accessible with the airlines of the Lufthansa Group, an airline statement said.
It asked customers to take the current entry and quarantine regulations of the respective destinations into account when planning their trip.
Throughout the entire trip, restrictions may be imposed due to stricter hygiene and security regulations, for example, due to longer waiting times at airport security checkpoints.
