Lufthansa to cancel 930 flights due to strike
Berlin
LUFTHANSA will have to cancel 930 flights after cabin crews continued what is shaping up to be the longest strike in the German airline's history, even after a court ruled it must stop Tuesday's walkout at one airport.
Flight attendants started striking last Friday over early retirement benefits and pensions and the cabin crew union raised the pressure on Tuesday by calling for walkouts on short and long-haul flights at Frankfurt, Dusseldorf and Munich airports from 0300 GMT on Wednesday to 2300 GMT on Friday. Lufthansa said it would have to cancel 930 flights to and from the three airports, affecting about 100,000 passengers, adding that management remained ready to talk to the union but only if they first end the strike.
