After being unable to reach an agreement at the negotiating table, Lufthansa flight attendants went on strike - with massive repercussions for Munich Airport.
Munich - After the ground staff, Lufthansa's flight attendants are now also on strike.
And that has a massive impact on air traffic in Bavaria: on Wednesday, March 13th, almost nothing will work at Munich Airport.
All departures are to be on strike between 4 a.m. and 11 p.m.
According to Lufthansa, 400 flights and around 50,000 passengers are affected.
The UFO (Independent Flight Attendants Organization) union has called for a strike.
Their demands: 15 percent more wages for a term of the collective agreement of 18 months.
The union members are also considering an inflation compensation bonus of 3,000 euros and higher allowances.

This process is our highest priority and is ongoing,” the airline said in a press release.
