Warning strike started at airports - hundreds of flight cancellations. Verdi is demanding, among other things, 2.80 euros more wages per hour and higher functional allowances.

At Berlin, Hamburg and Stuttgart airports, all takeoffs planned for Thursday were canceled. According to estimates by the airport association ADV, around 1,100 flights nationwide are canceled or can only take off late. Around 200,000 passengers are affected. Normal flight operations should not be possible again until Friday. The next Verdi warning strike is already planned - nationwide in local public transport.
