Approximately thirty Lufthansa flights to and from Brussels Airport will be canceled between Wednesday evening and Saturday morning due to a strike by the airline’s ground staff. The strike, called by the ver.di union, is scheduled to last around 60 hours, starting on Wednesday at 20:00 and ending on Saturday at 07:10.
The affected flights are primarily to and from the German cities of Frankfurt and Munich. The cancellations are a result of dissatisfaction with the state of wage negotiations, with the union demanding a 12.5% salary increase for its represented workers or a minimum of 500 euros more per month. Lufthansa’s latest offer did not meet the union’s demands, leading to the strike.
Brussels Airlines, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, is not affected by the strike and will operate flights to both Frankfurt and Munich as scheduled.
The Brussels Airlines flight to Frankfurt are canceled also.
