Overview
- Cabin crew represented by UFO began a one-day strike Friday from 00:01 to 22:00 that targets Lufthansa departures from Frankfurt and Munich.
- Lufthansa canceled hundreds of flights in advance, including nearly 75% of about 350 scheduled departures at Frankfurt, and warned travelers to check status before heading to the airport.
- Some reports projected roughly 100,000 passengers could be affected by the one-day action, though a confirmed total was not provided by the airline.
- Talks broke down over working conditions such as shift predictability and longer notice, as well as a social plan for roughly 800 Lufthansa CityLine cabin crew facing redundancy.
- Lufthansa urged the union to resume negotiations and apologized for the disruption, which follows pilot strikes in February and March and marks the airline’s third major stoppage this year.
