Travelers in Germany faced a day of delayed and canceled flights as security staff at the country’s biggest hubs strike following unsuccessful pay negotiations.
Deutsche Lufthansa AG told passengers to avoid traveling to 10 airports on Thursday, including to its main hub in Frankfurt, as the walkout called by the Verdi labor union closes departure areas and paralyzes security checkpoints. Airports including Berlin, Stuttgart and Hamburg canceled all departing flights Thursday while Frankfurt Airport said the strike will cause “major disruptions and flight cancellations.”
