Lufthansa will bring more than 80 tons of fruit and vegetables to supermarket in the UK, which are currently fearing shortages in the days leading to New Year’s Eve. Images of frustrated truck drivers attacking the police in Dove have been appearing on social media. These are some signs of what could be in store for the UK, with Brexit lurking ahead.
On Wednesday November 23rd, a Lufthansa Boeing 777 cargo plane was expected to land in Doncaster Sheffield Airport in England. Some of the supplies include lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, strawberries and citrus fruits. Approximately 80% of food imports into Great Britain come from the European Union.
Authorities in Germany are in the process of investigating whether cargo flights will still be needed for the next few days. The possibility of using passenger aircraft is also being evaluated. Lufthansa reported that those planes may also be used to bring food to the UK.
Uncertainty and fear of shortages seem to be hovering of Great Britain, specially from Christmas on.
