Overview

• The strike, organized by the Verdi union, will involve public service, ground handling, and aviation security staff at 13 airports, including Frankfurt and Munich, from midnight to 11:59 PM on March 10.
• An estimated 3,400 flights will be canceled, affecting over 510,000 passengers, with travelers urged to avoid airports and check their flight status in advance.
• The strike stems from ongoing wage negotiations, with workers demanding an 8% pay increase or at least €350 more per month, alongside additional vacation days.
• Airlines must provide alternative travel options, such as rebooking flights or converting tickets to train travel, but compensation claims may be limited due to the nature of the strike.
• The next round of wage negotiations is scheduled for March 14-16, with potential for further disruptions if no agreement is reached.
