Lufthansa strike begins to bite

22/04/2013 by Kevincm

The strike action that has been threatening Lufthansa for the past few days has hot today, with ground handlers walking out.

Staff at Frankfurt, Munich, Dusseldorf and Hamburg are walking out due to talks over pay and job security.

Lufthansa say this strike is uncalled for as dates for further talks had been agreed.

A total of 32 flights will operate today, as opposed to the 1700+ flights that normally run – in effect, shutting down the airline for the day. This is split between 20 short haul flights and 12 long haul flights.

However for the traveller, there is a Lufthansa sized hole in services today. Rebookings are being offered, but travel today could be a pain.

More information at http://www.lufthansa.com/de/en/Travel-information (although the site is slow today).

Good luck if you need to travel today.
