Der Spiegel has retracted a report concerning an alleged kerosene shortage at Lufthansa. According to the news magazine, the central information in the original article was outdated. The withdrawn piece had claimed that Lufthansa was reportedly preparing to ground up to 40 jets due to the ongoing energy crisis. However, the magazine stated that it later found this information to be inaccurate. Lufthansa subsequently explained that the Spiegel report relied on details from an internal employee meeting that took place last March, and they asserted that the report was false.
