German airline Lufthansa said it would further cut its flight schedule after Monday's announcement that its Austrian Airlines division was scrapping all flights in response to the coronavirus-induced collapse in passenger demand.

The airline group said in a statement that it would cut long-haul capacity by up to 90 percent from Tuesday, and would only operate 20 percent of intra-Europe flights it had planned to operate. So far, Lufthansa Cargo had operated all its flights as usual, and said it would do everything possible to keep doing so in order to preserve international supply chains.

The company said it was preparing to run further evacuation flights to repatriate citizens from its home markets of Germany, Austria and Switzerland and Belgium who were still stranded abroad.
