Tuesday, 17 March 20153 min read

Lufthansa flights to, from and within Germany will be hit on Wednesday by another pilots’ strike.

The Vereiningung cockpit union said the airline’s short and mid-haul flights will be affected.

The industrial action is the latest in a series of walk-outs by pilots in a dispute over early retirement benefits and also Lufthansa’s plans to expand its budget operations.

The strike will last 24 hours and will affect flights throughout Germany but Lufthansa’s low-cost subsidiaries Germanwings and Eurowings will operate as normal.
