While most of the roughly 130 passengers on the flight have joined a class action lawsuit against the airline, Chuny and about 30 others have not. While Lufthansa can no longer contact those who have joined the class action against them, they were able to reach out to Chuny and the passengers who have not decided whether they will pursue legal action against the carrier.
The letter was emailed to him from Lufthansa Airlines CEO Jens Ritter (as opposed to the Lufthansa Group CEO Carsten Spohr).
In the letter, Mr. Ritter apologizes for Lufthansa denying Mr. Rosen boarding on his flight to Budapest. He writes that his airline is embarrassed by what transpired as it is not reflective of their values of inclusion.
Travel expenses for the JFK-Frankfurt-Budapest flight.
It’s unclear how this would work with a ticket purchased via Avianca miles.
Travel expenses related to not being permitted to board the flight to Budapest.
This should include any new tickets purchased to get to the final destination and back home, as well as other expenses such as additional transfers and hotels.
EU regulation 261/2004 denied boarding compensation.
It’s unclear if Lufthansa plans on paying €250, which would be the amount owed for short-haul Frankfurt-Budapest, or €600, which would be the amount owed for a long-haul JFK-Frankfurt-Budapest.
The letter also notes that accepting these payments will not waive any rights to legal action against Lufthansa, though the class action lawyer has advised his own clients not to accept anything from Lufthansa.
Mr. Ritter concludes by apologizing again to the affected travelers and says that he hopes to regain the trust of the Jewish community
