Lufthansa pilots plan to go on strike on Friday. This particularly affects the hubs in Munich and Frankfurt. In the southwest, on the other hand, hardly any flights are affected.
Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Lufthansa pilots also want to go on strike in the southwest today. However, the impact on passengers is likely to be limited due to the small number of flights. An airport spokeswoman announced on Thursday that three flights to and two flights from Frankfurt had been canceled in Stuttgart. The three flights to and three flights from Munich, on the other hand, should take off because they are operated by Lufthansa Cityline.
According to a spokesman, two of the five Lufthansa flights to and from Frankfurt were canceled at Bodensee Airport in Friedrichshafen. Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport, on the other hand, is not affected because Lufthansa does not fly to the airport.
On Thursday night, the Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) union called on the pilots of the core company and the freight subsidiary Lufthansa Cargo to go on a day-long strike on Friday. According to VC, all departures of the Lufthansa core company and Lufthansa Cargo from German airports will be on strike on Friday. The companies Eurowings, Lufthansa Cityline and Eurowings Discover are not affected by the call and are scheduled to fly.
Around 800 flights with an estimated 130,000 affected passengers have to be canceled at the Munich and Frankfurt hubs, the company announced on Thursday.
