The German airline, Lufthansa, says it will have to make more staff cuts in addition to the previously announced reduction of 22,000 full-time positions – despite receiving a $10.5 billion (9 billion euros) government bailout in June. The airline, which also owns Austrian Airlines and Eurowings, said it would put some of its fleet into long-term storage and permanently decommission its seven remaining Airbus A340-600s. VOA correspondent Mariama Diallo has this story.
