After 24 hours and around 800 canceled flights with 130,000 affected passengers, the Lufthansa labor dispute has ended for the time being. Is it back to normal everyday flying in the sky? Not quite.
The pilots’ strike at Lufthansa ended as planned at midnight. The union “Vereinigung Cockpit” had limited the labor dispute to 24 hours from the outset.
After the cancellation of more than 800 flights on Friday, the airline wanted to fly as completely as possible on its flight schedule on Saturday. On Friday evening Lufthansa announced that there would probably be no flight cancellations – but delays are possible.
The first departures from the Frankfurt and Munich hubs are scheduled for the early morning. As a precaution, Lufthansa canceled around 800 flights with 130,000 affected passengers on Friday. With this strategy, a normal and stable flight plan should be achieved for the restart on Saturday. It is the last weekend of the school holidays in Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland.
