A strike by German airport workers has been planned for tomorrow (Tuesday) and could extend into Wednesday.
Passengers are being warned to expect major delays between 3am and 4pm on Tuesday, April 10, as a result of industrial action by baggage handlers, security staff and fire crews.
Information on Frankfurt Airport’s website says: "Due to a public sector strike at airports across Germany on Tuesday, April 10, major disruptions and flight cancellations are also expected at Frankfurt Airport (FRA).
"In particular, the security checkpoints for Piers A and Z in Terminal 1 will remain closed during the strike. Thus, passengers checking in at FRA for flights departing from an A or Z Gate will not be able to access the respective pier to get to their flights.
"We also expect longer waiting times at all other security checkpoints during the entire day. Passengers are therefore strongly advised to allow extra time for their journey and to check in as early as possible.
"If you travel to Frankfurt Airport by car, please take into account that access roads to the airport may be affected by strikers’ demonstrations.
"We recommend that passengers check the status of their flight on their airline’s website and take advantage of online rebooking options or contact their airline, before traveling to the airport.
"Passengers, whose flight has been cancelled without any immediate rebooking options, are kindly requested to avoid coming to the airport."
