Lufthansa strike

On February 17, the Verdi trade union called a strike at Lufthansa to push through its demands for higher salaries and better working conditions. This strike has already affected passengers, as Lufthansa was forced to cancel all flights from Frankfurt Airport and Munich Airport. Lufthansa has officially confirmed that more than 2,000 flights had to be canceled, affecting about 200,000 passengers. This cancellation has affected both business and leisure travelers, who will now have to either change their travel plans or switch to alternative means of transportation.

Verdi has called the strike to press its demands for higher salaries and better working conditions. The union has announced that the strike will last until the end of the day, meaning more flight cancellations and inconvenience for passengers. Lufthansa has issued an official statement on the strike, saying it regrets the inconvenience the strike has caused passengers. However, the airline stressed that it had no choice but to cancel all flights from Frankfurt and Munich, as the strike represents a significant disruption to its operations.

Strike: Flight cancellations and ticket refund

Passengers affected by the flight cancellations will be contacted by Lufthansa and informed of their options. The airline will offer affected passengers alternative flights, if available, or refunds for their tickets. It remains to be seen how long the Verdi strike will last and what impact it will have on air traffic. Passengers planning to fly with Lufthansa in the coming days should check the airline's website or their travel agent for the current status and prepare for possible flight cancellations.

Overall, the strike at Lufthansa demonstrates the importance of labor relations and unions in the aviation industry. While passengers are affected by flight cancellations and inconvenience, it is important to consider the needs of workers in the industry and ensure fair working conditions.
