[FRANKFURT] Lufthansa pilots are scheduled to strike on Tuesday after talks over an early retirement scheme broke down again, taking out long-haul flights from Frankfurt between 0600 and 2100 GMT.

The Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) trade union said on Monday that Airbus A380, A330 and A340 and Boeing B747 aircraft would not fly from Frankfurt. A spokesman for the union estimated that 70 to 80 flights would be affected.

Lufthansa had no immediate comment.
