The flight attendants' union declared a one-day strike at the airline Lufthansa and its CityLine division on Friday, which began shortly after midnight and was to last until 10:00 p.m. Approximately 20,000 flight attendants and stewards went on strike, paralyzing operations on hundreds of flights. The company was forced to cancel almost all departing and arriving flights from various European airports, including the key German hubs of Frankfurt am Main and Munich. Connecting flights, for example between Budapest and Munich or between Frankfurt and Prague, were also affected. aktuality.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
The reason for the protest is stalled negotiations over pay increases for flight attendants. The negotiations came to a halt, and the union therefore resorted to a strike as a means of forcing progress in the talks. According to available information, this is already the third major strike within the company, showing that the dispute over wages remains deeply unresolved. ekonomika.sme.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
Operations of the German airline group were significantly affected throughout the entire territory, including smaller airports. Passengers had to deal with a number of cancelled or delayed flights, which has an impact on the travel situation in Central Europe. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
