Lufthansa notes that, for incomprehensible reasons, the pilots’ union Vereinigung Cockpit has announced an additional strike for Thursday before Wednesday’s strike has even begun. Once more, they are inflicting extensive damage on our company and especially on our customers. The union has announced the strike on its website for Thursday, from 00:01 to 23:59. Once again, all Lufthansa long- and short-haul flights leaving Germany are affected.

Lufthansa will make preparations to deal with the operative effects of the strike immediately, in order to allow its customers to make reliable plans as soon as possible. 876 flights have already been cancelled for Wednesday, including 51 long-haul flights. Lufthansa regrets and apologizes for the inconvenience that the flight cancellations are causing its passengers.



Lufthansa asks all its customers to take the precaution of checking the status of their flight on LH.com before travelling to the airport. Lufthansa will also be notifying all passengers who have provided contact information in their customer profiles of any flight cancellations by e-mail or SMS. Customers can also call our free hotline at 0800 850 60 70 for information (free from German landlines).
