Crash families blast Lufthansa chief

A group of parents whose children were killed in the Germanwings plane crash have released a scathing letter to Lufthansa’s chief executive, accusing him of ignoring their needs and feelings and insulting them with his company’s compensation offer.

The parents of 16 students from the German town of Haltern accused Carsten Spohr of never speaking with relatives to apologise — a claim disputed by the airline.

The letter comes amid negotiations with Lufthansa, Germanwings’ parent airline, over compensation for the March 24 crash.
