# German airline Lufthansa has instructed some aircraft flying to Frankfurt to carry extra fuel as supplies tighten at the country’s largest airport. The airline says reduced capacity in a fuel pipeline, which is undergoing routine maintenance, has affected supplies. Low water levels on the Rhine may also be hampering fuel deliveries by river. The extra fuel will reduce the need for aircraft to refuel in Frankfurt. Lufthansa says the measure is precautionary and no flight cancellations are currently expected. Airport operator Fraport says operations are not affected.
