Pilot strike forces
Lufthansa to cancel 800 flights on Friday, 2 September
By
1 September 2022
The strike
announced by Vereinigung Cockpit (VC), representing the Lufthansa pilots, on
Friday 2 september will affect around 130,000 passengers and will have a
massive effect on the airline’s operations. After negotiations between both
parties failed last week, Lufthansa now has to cancel 800 flights from
Frankfurt and Munich hubs.
“Lufthansa is
in the middle of the main return travel period at the end of the school
holidays in Germany and other European countries, and we are now faced with
this strike,” the airline wrote in a statement, adding that the strike may still
lead to other flight cancellations or delays throughout the weekend.
Eurowings
and Eurowings Discover are not affected by the strike call and are scheduled to
operate as planned. Passengers affected by cancellations will be informed
immediately today and rebooked on alternative flights if possible.
