But Air Force One Left the Gate on Schedule

President Bush's visit to Frankfurt, Germany cost Europe's second largest airline millions of dollars.

The German government forced flight changes around the visit. That meant Lufthansa had to cancel 92 flights affecting 5,730 passengers. That created a chain reaction of delaying 330 other flights. All the delays added up to 300 hours. And each minute of a delay cost the airline $66. (Bloomberg)
