After the Germanwings’ A320 crash in the French Alps some crews of the low-cost carrier have refused to fly, citing “personal reasons.” The airline’s spokesman insists the problem has nothing to do with the technical condition of its planes.
Germanwings had to cancel several flights Tuesday because crews refused to fly, having learned that the crashed Flight 9525 had been grounded the day before it crashed.
Lufthansa, Germany’s national flag carrier and the owner of Germanwings, has refused to confirm there is any connection between the canceled flights and repairs of the ill-fated A320.
The pilots and crewmembers who refused to fly did so because they were in “deep distress” over the crash that claimed 150 lives, a Lufthansa spokeswoman said.
“Some have refused their service for personal reasons, but not out of concern that something there is out of order,’ the spokeswoman told the dpa news agency.
