Pilots represented by the Vereinigung Cockpit union are striking at Lufthansa and Eurowings on Monday and Tuesday, causing hundreds of flight cancellations and impacting tens of thousands of passengers. This marks the fourth strike affecting the airline this year.
The current pilot strike over pensions follows a recent walkout by cabin crew, and the UFO cabin crew union has announced further strikes on Wednesday and Thursday, continuing a pattern of travel disruptions at Germany’s busiest hubs.
This latest industrial action comes just days after the previous cabin crew strike concluded, and follows a pilots’ strike that occurred in mid-March. Passenger journeys are facing continued uncertainty as a result of these ongoing labor disputes.
