A German airline has cancelled more than 1,000 flights on Wednesday due to a one-day strike by its ground staff.
Almost all Lufthansa flights in Germany were scrapped in a dispute over pay, affecting tens of thousands of passengers in the latest chaos to hit the travel industry. About 134,000 passengers have been forced to change their travel plans or cancel them altogether.
Lufthansa’s main hubs in Frankfurt and Munich were most affected, but flights were also cancelled in Duesseldorf, Hamburg, Berlin, Bremen, Hannover, Stuttgart and Cologne. The airline advised affected passengers not to come to the airports because most of the counters there would not be staffed.
