Cancellations to affect estimated 120,000 passengers, including 70,000 in Frankfurt and 50,000 in Munich
German airline Lufthansa has reported that 1,000 scheduled flights are expected to be canceled on Tuesday and Wednesday due to cabin crew strike demanding a 15% wage increase.
Approximately 600 flights are expected to be canceled at Frankfurt airport on Tuesday and another 400 flights at Munich airport on Wednesday due to a two-day cabin staff strike.
The cancellations will affect an estimated 120,000 passengers, including 70,000 in Frankfurt and 50,000 in Munich.
The Independent Flight Attendants' Union (UFO) had called for a strike last weekend by Lufthansa's cabin crew.
The UFO is demanding a 15% wage increase for Lufthansa's approximately 18,000 cabin crew over an 18-month contract period.
The union also demands a one-time payment of up to €3,000 to combat inflation.
