A large-scale airport strike in Germany on Monday is expected to affect over 500,000 passengers and lead to more than 3,400 flight cancellations. The walkout, organized by the Verdi union, comes after stalled wage negotiations and follows previous strikes in recent weeks. Major airports, including Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin, will see significant disruptions, with some halting departures entirely. Verdi is pushing for an 8% pay increase or a minimum raise of €350 per month, while employers claim the demands are unrealistic. Further negotiations are scheduled to take place later this month.
