Luxair Luxembourg Airlines today announced its decision to cancel its direct service between Saarbrucken and Berlin at the end of the year.

From 31 December 2019, Luxair will no longer offer direct flights between Saarbrücken and Berlin in Germany.

Although Luxair has recognised the importance of the connection between Saarbrücken and Berlin, the airline has explained that the route (up to three daily and eighteen weekly flights) is no longer economically sustainable due to the huge effort involved in providing the aircraft and the need for these flights by a third party company on behalf of Luxair. In addition, external and operational conditions in the aeronautical industry have deteriorated considerably in recent months and have therefore contributed to negative results for the route.

Luxair has confirmed that it will contact customers who have already booked flights between Saarbrücken and Berlin beyond 31 December 2019 and that the airline tickets will be refunded.
