Düsseldorf/Cologne (dpa/lnw) - Due to a pilot strike, numerous Eurowings flights were also canceled at the two major airports in North Rhine-Westphalia on Monday. In Düsseldorf alone, Eurowings canceled 103 of the 205 planned take-offs and landings, as the airport's website showed on Monday morning. According to the online flight information service, 43 of 68 planned take-offs and landings at Cologne/Bonn Airport were canceled.
The strike is scheduled to run from Monday through Wednesday. The pilots' association wants to use it to achieve better working conditions. It is the second time in less than 14 days that pilots at the Lufthansa subsidiary have stopped working. During the first strike on October 6, about half of all flights were canceled.
Passengers were asked to find out about the status of their flight on the Eurowings website or via the Eurowings app.
