Due to the Corona crisis, Lufthansa and its subsidiary Eurowings have significantly reduced their capacities at Leipzig / Halle and Dresden airports and this is expected to remain the same for the winter flight schedule. As Lufthansa announced at the request of MDR SACHSEN, the connection from Leipzig to Munich will be suspended until summer 2021. Lufthansa is currently not even serving Leipzig Airport with this. The demand has lagged behind expectations in the past few weeks, it said.
