Lufthansa To Scrap 1,300 Flights Over Two-Day German Strike
By
Lufthansa said Wednesday it was scrapping 1,300 flights as German cabin crew pressed ahead with a two-day strike, plunging passengers into travel chaos amid an escalating row over pay and conditions.
“As a result of the strike, around 180,000 passengers will be affected by 1,300 flight cancellations,” the airline said in a statement after losing a court battle to halt the stoppage.
The 48-hour walkout is due to start at 2300 GMT.
