Union strike grounds operations at German airports



Airlines operating to some of Germany’s airports will be faced with difficulties today as the German Union Verdi will not allow services rendered to airlines.  Services such as ground handling, check-in and security services will be denied to operating airlines to Frankfurt, Munich, Dusseldorf and others. This is according to the Lufthansa airlines' website. “The German Union Verdi has announced a strike on Wednesday 27 April for the airports Frankfurt/Main, Munich, Dusseldorf, Cologne/Bonn, Dortmund and partly also Hannover-Langenhagen for ground handling, check-in and security services, as well as a section of the fire brigades.
On Wednesday 27 April, flight delays and cancellations may be expected for all airlines operating at these airports.”


Passengers going to these airports are advised to contact the airlines involved to ascertain status of their flight.
