Does LH or Swissport operate those tow vehicles? I recall FRA busses and tows being outsourced to Swissport or somebody else - Fraport?. If that is the case, that is a hefty insurance claim on the ground handling company by LH's insurance carrier. No too often one would think their car insurance needs to cover a 300 million euro airliner. Ouch.
