450 of 1,117 scheduled flights were canceled at Frankfurt, Germany’s largest aviation hub. Munich Airport saw 275 of 920 planned flights scrapped. The 24-hour strike impacted around 100,000 passengers.<\/p>\n
The pilot union VC, which represents approximately 4,800 employees, is demanding higher employer contributions to occupational pensions. Members sanctioned the strike in a ballot last fall. Lufthansa management has dismissed the demands, citing high costs and falling profits.<\/p>\n
In a separate dispute, the Unabh\u00e4ngige Flugbegleiter Organisation (UFO) cabin crew union staged a “warning strike” to force negotiations on collective agreements at Lufthansa’s main operation and its regional subsidiary, Cityline. Union leaders argue the company’s current corporate strategy threatens about 800 jobs.<\/p>\n
