Lufthansa cabin crew call new two-day strike in Germany

March 10, 2024 - 22:14

Lufthansa's cabin crew union has called for a fresh two-day strike across two of Germany's busiest airports, Frankfurt and Munich.

Taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday, it is the latest in a series of strikes to affect the German airline, the BBC reported. 

The union's announcement comes days after Lufthansa announced record profits for 2023.

Lufthansa said around 100,000 travelers are likely to be affected.

The strike will cover all departures out of Frankfurt airport on Tuesday and all flights out of Munich on Wednesday, from 04:00 (03:00 GMT) to 23:00 (22:00 GMT) local time, the union said.

It will affect both Lufthansa and its short-distance, low-cost subsidiary, Cityline. It is unclear whether Lufthansa's code share partners will also be affected.
