Pilots at Lufthansa have launched a 48-hour strike, threatening to disrupt hundreds of flights and affect thousands of passengers across Germany. The strike is scheduled for March 12 and 13, creating major operational challenges for the airline.
The walkout has been organized by the Vereinigung Cockpit as negotiations with the airline over pension reforms and salary conditions remain unresolved. Union representatives say the action is necessary to push for improved employment terms for pilots.
Major aviation hubs such as Frankfurt Airport and Munich Airport are expected to see the biggest disruptions, with hundreds of flights likely to be delayed or cancelled during the strike period.
Lufthansa is working to reduce the impact by adjusting schedules and shifting some passengers to partner airlines within the Lufthansa Group. However, travelers have been advised to check flight status regularly as disruptions may continue throughout the strike.
