Lufthansa paralysed by strike action this Monday

A major strike by ground staff launched on Monday 22 April is causing major disruption to Lufthansa traffic: almost all of the 1,650 or so flights scheduled in Europe have been cancelled.

A black day and a white copy for Lufthansa on 22 April: the airline, affected by a strike launched by the Ver.di union, will be operating virtually no flights in Europe today. The initial schedule of more than 1,650 flights has finally been reduced... to a total of twenty operations, while the Germanwings subsidiary has escaped the strike. From Frankfurt to Hamburg, from Düsseldorf to Munich, the German carrier's aircraft are grounded due to the lack of a wage agreement between management and the union.
