“The spread of the coronavirus has placed the entire global economy and our company as well in an unprecedented state of emergency,” Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said in a statement. “At present, no-one can foresee the consequences.” Shares in US airlines fell sharply on Wednesday after Washington proposed a rescue package of $50bn in loans, but no grants as the industry had requested, to help address the financial effect from crisis.
