Verdi largely paralyzes Lufthansa. Of the more than 1,000 flights originally planned, up to 90 percent were canceled on Wednesday.
Less than half of the usual air traffic took place at the Frankfurt and Munich hubs. In Düsseldorf, operations started smoothly, as an airport spokesman assured. There were no delays or long waiting times between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., when a large number of flights usually take off. The warning strike is scheduled to run until 7:10 a.M. on Thursday.
