Lufthansa subsidiary Discover condemns pilot strike. 90 percent of planned short and medium-haul flights expected to take place from Frankfurt during the strike.
Union expects high strike participation. Union considers the negotiations with the employer to have failed for the time being. It is already the third strike after a five-hour warning strike shortly before Christmas and a regular strike lasting a whole day on Friday last week, after the pilots voted in favor of strikes in a strike vote. The union is fighting for an initial collective agreement at the airline, which operates a total of 24 aircraft.
