Passengers left sitting: Lufthansa preferred to fly ferry from Frankfurt to Berlin

The travellers were then informed by SMS, email and push notifications that the gate had changed. When they arrived there, however, there was no flight, because an announcement was made over the loudspeaker that the Berlin flight was cancelled. The aircraft that was actually supposed to fly to the German capital with passengers also flew there. However, it was a ferry flight, meaning there were no passengers on board.
