Lufthansa crew strike set to go ahead on Thursday after court ruling
Lufthansa cabin crew members will participate in a two-day strike, following German court approval. Workers are striking over pay and pensions beginning on Thursday, with the potential to extend the strike beyond Friday if necessary. Due to the wide-reaching impact of the strike, the German airline attempted to prevent the strike by filing a claim with the courts. This strike will ultimately result in the cancellation of over one thousand flights, and it will impact nearly 180,000 passengers.
