Lufthansa COMMITTED TO THE CRANE

COMPLETELY DISPROPORTIONATE Hundreds of flights cancelled in Germany

Germany is the best country in the world, according to new analysis unveiled Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The first-ever Best Countries report awarded Germany the top spot “in part because of its strong economy, world influence and its focus on key global issues, such as the migrant crisis and eurozone unity.”

Germany's foreign minister says his country won't make any further immediate changes to its travel advice for Turkey but could do so in light of the investigation into Tuesday's Istanbul bombing.

Germany's transport minister is advocating the introduction of unannounced alcohol, drug and medicine tests for pilots in the country. Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt's proposal follows the crash in March of a Germanwings jet that killed all 150 people aboard. Prosecutors believe the co-pilot intentionally crashed the plane and say they found torn-up sick notes from doctors at his home.
