Several flights will be canceled at Leipzig/Halle Airport on Friday due to the warning strike by Lufthansa flight attendants. Specifically, eight take-offs and landings to and from Frankfurt will be canceled, according to a spokesperson for the airport.
The reason for this is a strike call by the Ufo union. It had called on the flight attendants to stop work on Friday from 00:01 to 22:00. "All Deutsche Lufthansa AG departures from Frankfurt and Munich airports will be on strike," the union said.
These are Lufthansa's hubs, which means that many passengers are threatened with flight cancellations. According to the union, all Lufthansa CityLine departures from Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Bremen, Stuttgart, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Berlin and Hanover airports are also on strike.
Lufthansa advises passengers to check their flight status before traveling to the airport. Anyone who has booked through a travel agency should contact them.
