Back in the early spring of 2020.....a lot of Germans were off in South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, etc....stuck. The return flight business just ceased to exist because of Covid.
Several weeks went by. Folks kinda got desperate.....they wanted to return to Germany.
So the German government went to Lufthansa, and asked if they'd arrange flights. Yes was the answer, but they weren't free. So embassy operations were told to identify the folks....get a number and within a week or two....the flights started. The German couples/families had to sign a piece of paper....saying they'd pay the one-way flights back to the government.
Total amount in the tally? Around 95-million Euro. Number of folks? 67,000.
Well....folks didn't think this was legal. So they took this to court.
The court decided yesterday....yes, it was legal.
Shock? I think all of the people involved figured it was a lost cause, but went to the court deal to see if they could get out of some portion
